Hmmm. Well it never lies in that it always records the light entering it as it did, and as its technology allows, and yet… it always lies in that it is an imperfect depiction of reality rather than reality itself, but then so is what we see ourselves, that view being an illusion generated in the dark interior of the back of the brain… Should we both write essays?
All media constructs reality. As soon as we frame the subject we have chosen what to put in and what to leave out. We select lighting. colour, camera angle and height. We shape the information that we are communicating. A reality has been constructed which conveys a set of values, beliefs & ideologies. The messages may be intended or unintended, but they are sent out in any case.
What I want to know is this. If we took a large printed photograph. cut it into a series of strips and then turned those strips into a Moebius strip, what dimension would be represented then. 😀
Truth be told: I probably have a streak of both ‘demure’ and ‘butch’ as evidenced to myself by my current cravings for a nice cashmere twin set, hold the pearls and cups of tea, and a nice pair of Blundstone lace-up work boots, hold the beer and building site.
Syncopated Eyeball 
beautiful photograph … even in the snow.
Ah, thank you, John. Much appreciated.
Awesome, my friend.
Hey, thanks, Antonio! 😀
Rather demure, I’d say.
Quite nice 🙂
Ha! Demure! Ha ha ha!
I am shy in crowds, reasonably modest but never coy and rarely lady-like. 🙂
Oh… Who said the camera never lies eh?
I don’t know and I have often wondered who first said that because it is so stupid!
For starters, a photograph is a two-dimensional rendering of a three-dimensional something…
You probably don’t want me to go on… I could probably write an essay on this.
Hmmmm, perhaps I will.

All is illusion, I sometimes hear. 🙂

Go Joseph! Go Joseph! 😀
Great shot.
Why, thank you, Richard. 🙂
Appreciate the lines, the contrast, the dynamic composition
Thank you, Donna, and welcome. 🙂
The cast shadow it is my friend, I love the late afternoon the time of the last shadow. It’s mysterious and seductive. Great pic!
Thanks DL. 🙂
Welcome to my blog.
Very, very nice. I especially like the highlights and strands of hair picked out by the strong light.
Thank you, Mrs Daffodil.
By the way, my Australian Native Orchid is evidently not an Australian Native Orchid! I’m glad my mistake was spotted.
I bet they still wouldn’t want to live in Canada 😦
I think you’re right. 🙂
Very nice.You look rather bashful Syncy!
Rather keeping the sun out of my eyes. 🙂
Excellent composition Ashley. I agree, very demure. 🙂
Thank you for the compliment re: the composition, Joseph.
If anyone else says THAT word again, I shall have a conniption.
And then you will all see!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ok. I’ve changed my mind.
Very Butch.
Better?
:p

“Demurely butch” then… I feel we are closing in on your personality
I said a streak. I have lots of streaks. Hereby ends my contribution to this topic.
Moody demurely butch…
