Myth of the Photographic Truth







The first picture is the cropped one. As you can see it simply looks like a person enjoying the water in a kayak. However, when the real photograph is revealed, you can see how different the interpretation can be. The picture cropped is pleasant visually to the viewer. While the real photo is startling to the viewer and really quite terrifying. This picture exemplifies "The Myth of Photographic Truth" because the truth of this photograph can be perceived in a different way when altered.
