| "Although there is a sense in which the camera does indeed capture reality, not just interpret it, photographs are as much an interpretation of the world as paintings and drawings are." -SUSAN SONTAG |
My photo is an image within an image. You can interpret what's going on but I am the only one who knows the reality within my image. It is unique to me just as an other painting, sculpture or writing I compose. What's different about a camera is that the reality sometimes is the illusion. It's very easy for us to distinguish painting from photo but their very much similar in many ways. Even though paintings or drawings are usually meant to be interpreted and photos meant to be taken as proof, they still are interpreted regardless to what you see according to Sontag. A face might look angry and a glass might look empty but its not what's going on.
