PS Re: [Leica] Forget A couple of shots...

[imagist3 at mac.com (Lottermoser George)]

Because photography is all about appearances. How the world appears.  
Whether birds, folks, wars, hurricane aftermath, ice skaters or  
whatever. Imagine a photo of that 3 ring binder simply sitting on a  
table. Compare it to a photo with that 3 ring binder sitting on a  
table with a cat sitting near it. And on and on. The image of a 3  
ring binder with large letters "CIA" in the arms of a person who  
"appears" the way this young woman does carries our thoughts in a  
particular direction. If we'd see an image of Osama embracing this 3  
ring binder we'd have yet another reaction. And if we'd see George W.  
embracing it we'd have yet another reaction. And without a doubt,  
each of us will react uniquely with each version of image described;  
according to our experience, reading habits and beliefs.
