2012.09.10 The reality of the force

The artistic image is not intended to represent the thing itself,

but, rather,

the reality of the force the thing contains.

~ James Baldwin

Sometimes the photograph is more forceful and vibrant than the reality of the thing itself.

Other times, the photo is but a pale shadow of the reality.

Each of us decides which is which.

~ Me
