What?


Photography is often considered truth. What ends up in the image must have been in front of the camera, right? Well of course, digital photography has entirely changed that. But what happens when the image shows only the reality the photographer chose to portray, or the subject is unknown to the viewer? For example, is this image and the one below, a moonscape? A lava flow? Death Valley? A landscape from space? Or something else entirely?


My point is that truth is subjective. Common subjects can be hidden in their details and the truth can be hidden behind layers of unknowns.

So what are these images? Any one have any guesses?
