Taken by me.
"While a painting or a prose description can never be other than a narrowly selective interpretation, a photograph can be treated as a narrowly selective transparency..."
Photographs are taken as truth. They cannot be "created" in the same way as words on a page or a painting on canvas can be. This misconception is so far reaching that one takes photo and video evidence as fact of the thing. But really, a photo is just a means to capture a moment and thus it can be altered as well. Doctoring or omitting information changes the fact. Here, I show the Niagara falls alsmos as the end of the world. From this angle the view does not know whether anything exists beyond this point and is left with only the view offered by this vantage.
