Truth carries with it confrontation. truth demands confrontation; loving confrontation, but confrontation nevertheless.
Demand Confrontation Nevertheless
How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. i had confused the appearance of trees and automobiles, and people with a reality itself, and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. it is a melancholy truth that i will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. i am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. to photograph reality is to photograph nothing.
