“Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.”

“Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.”~Duane Michals. Do you agree or disagree with this quote? Why?

I agree with this quote becuase for example, I could go outside and take a picture of a tree. Someone can look at this photo in many different ways. They might say that is appears to be just a tree, and that is that. Or, they could look at the composition and the background and attach some sort of social or cultural meaning to it. Anyone could interpret this photo of a tree in a different way. Even the author could attach meaning to a photo that no one else may ever know. Maybe it was a tree that the author had his first kiss under. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
