There are no facts, only interpretations. ~Friedrich Nietzsche What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist. ~Pablo Picasso What was once called the objective world is a sort of Rorschach ink blot, into which each culture, each system of science and religion, each type of personality, reads a meaning only remotely derived from the shape and color of the blot itself. ~Lewis Mumford, "Orientation to Life," The Conduct of Life, 1951 What happens to the wide-eyed observer when the window between reality and unreality breaks and the glass begins to fly? Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion. ~Democritus

Listening to both sides of a story will convince you that there is more to a story than both sides. ~Frank Tyger
The human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it. ~Francis Bacon After you've heard two eyewitness accounts of an auto accident, you begin to worry about history. ~Author Unknown Knowledge is what we get when an observer, preferably a scientifically trained observer, provides us with a copy of reality that we can all recognize. Christopher Lasch I capture reality, never pose it. But once captured, is it still reality? I've always tried to play with the false impression of reality, with the ambiguity of appearances. Things are what they seem to be, or maybe something else. I use people as unconscous actors in little dramas they don't know they're in. These pictures are about Earthlings, but I'll let you in on a secret: I'm an Earthling myself. - Richard Kalvar ...to photograph is to frame, and to frame is to exclude. Susan Sontag – as humans we view life through our own lenses and tend to exclude other factors around it“ There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.” Author: Ansel Adams “To manipulate an image is to control a people”. Author: Carolyn Gerard
"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." Albert Einstein
