“Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.”~Duane Michals. Write a brief reaction to this quote. Is this quote applicable to your experience with photography? What does it mean to you? Do you agree with the idea presented or disagree?
I think that this is saying something about how there is always something more to a photograph than from what you first see. The information presented in front of you may say one thing, but what it is saying might be completely out of context.
I definitely agree with this quote, considering the information put up always has some sort of background information behind it. Although it is not always meant to be hidden, without some sort of accompanying text, there may be some information missing from it. Even the text can skew the perception into a different direction, so there is always going to be some piece, however insignificant or small, missing from the image.
