Response to Errol Morris

Photographs connect to the world physical world, so you should try to make the connection between the two things. Look at it as a investigation of what you’re photographing. Errol says that photos are neither true nor false but I disagree because they are a little bit of both. He also says photos are all posed because you can cut stuff out but I don’t see cutting objects out as posing photos. Posing photos to me is more setting up the objects you want to photograph and cutting out objects is more about an artistic choice and angles. You never know what the photo is really about unless you ask the photographer because you can interpret a photo different ways. Photographs can produce different feelings for different people and different cultures.
