“Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.”~Duane Michals.
I think this can be true at times. It is easy to distort the truth with photography, but it is also easy to capture things that might have been overlooked in the moment the photo was taken. In these cases, photography is capable of presenting the truth more completely. I think it all depends on the individual photo and the story it is trying to tell. The same photo can be interpreted differently by different individuals, and all photos leave something out, whether it be parts of the scene not included in the frame or the events leading up to the moment captured. While I think it is often the case that things are not what they seem, photography can often reveal that things are more than what they first appeared to be.
