People worry over whether photographs are « true » or not. Before we can evaluate a photograph’s truth, we must decide what statement we think the photograph makes. Then we must consider the threats to the validity of that statement, since the photograph may have been manipulated or truncated. In the latter case this may result from a desire to make « art », by censorship or by inadequate sampling.
