“There is no such thing as a totally objective reality. Within certain parameters everybody has the power to create his or her own reality, although surprisingly few people consciously avail themselves of this opportunity – most seem to be satisfied having their reality created by others. Curiously the proof lies in the medium of photography: While regarded by many as the most objective of arts the opposite is in fact the truth: It is virtually always deceptive, and can never represent the totality of reality. It is at its best when focusing on coincidences, it can often impart a deeper sense of truth when it is at it’s most manipulative.
More than a product of the eye it can be said to be a product of the brain and although it is difficult to judge where the one stops and the other starts I suspect that the mind is the more important factor of the two: Look at that branch, see how it grows, see how the blossoms bloom.”Shelving
