Errol Morris on Photography

This video summarized the idea that photography is not always realism.  People assume that because a photograph is taken of real objects, there is so much that can be left out, or cropped out to skew the realistic parts of a photograph.  Morris makes a point that there is so much that you can do to a photograph to make it different than the human eye actually sees.  An example made in the video was the pathway where the elephant was cropped out.  Had the elephant been in the picture, the image would be completely different.  The main point of this video is that photography is not as real as most think, it can be skewed to how the photographer wants it to be, therefore not showing all of the reality.
