In this clip Morris clams that
there is no candid photo. His option is that the shear act of framing a shot
makes it something that was staged. He claimed that any photograph is posed
just by choosing what to focus on. He
says that photographs are neither true nor false. I see what he was trying to
get at; however, I don’t agree with that position. Coming from a
photojournalistic back ground it was pounded into my head to keep the photo
candid. This is something I do believe to be possible. I think that he was
simply overthinking things. If someone tells you a true statement is it any
less true because they chose to emphasize particular facts or they have their
own option of the truth? Not in my option. So why would it be any different
when it comes to photography.
