[Leica] Re:what is truth?

Felix - Let me say it differently.  If your final image evokes your 
response to the subject when you took the picture you've spoken 
truthfully.  If the final image also evokes a powerful response in 
others, then you're an artist.  Photography is like writing in that 
regard.

I wish to hell I did both better.

Absolute truth is way above my pay grade.  ;-)
