#3: “Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.”~Duane Michals. Do you agree or disagree with this quote? Why?
Yes I do agree with this quote because in more situations than not you misjudge based on appearance. Whether this is through a picture or everyday life. Everyone perceives things differently and judges on those perceptions, therefore nothing can just be what it appears to be, it is far more complex than that.
#4: “If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera.” ~Lewis Hine.
Do you agree or disagree with this quote? Why? Describe situations when photographic images reveal “the story” (as compared to words). Describe situations when words reveal “the story” (as compared to images).
I agree with this quote because I find that I am not the best at communicating and getting my ideas across and also that words don’t always fully express my thoughts when I can find a proper way to communicate. Situations in which photographic images do a better job of revealing the story is when you are trying to express feelings and/or the feelings you get when you see an image. For instance, a photograph of a facial expression does a way better job of expressing that feeling than words could. Situations when words reveal the story more clearly are when you are trying to express your thoughts. Not all photographs are capable of expressing thoughts, depending on the context.
