"Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world." - Arnold Newman
I am not sure that I agree with this quote. While it is certainly possible to distort reality within a photograph, it is also possible to present a fairly accurate and informative representation of reality. For example, photojournalism attempts to capture reality as closely as possible within a photograph. The photo tells a story about real events and real people and places.
