“Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.”~Duane Michals. Do you agree or disagree with this quote? Why?

I agree with this quote, in the fact that good photography is deceptive.  Images that have been well captured, even with no editing at all, have the potential to make reality seem completely different from what we perceive with our naked eyes.  Such a photo may simply be an amazing moment captured on film, or perhaps it is the way that the light hits the subject, something we may not notice unless it is presented to us in a still image. In that sense, photography deals with capturing the most beautiful, intrigueing and fantastic appearances in the real world, apperances that we may simply glaze over with our naked eyes.
