Whether it’s merely in digital format or printed, a photograph is always a document of sorts. It represents a time and place and it is always history. It is always past tense.Documents are typically used as a form of proof. A passport photo is a form of legal proof. We rely on photography to provide a degree of truth even though we are fully aware of the fact that a photo can be manipulated.In social media we see so many photos of exotic vacations, designer apparel and haute cuisine. People flaunt their social worth for all to see. Everybody wants to be in the in crowd. To blend in.There are so many photos out there that have no depth. They are superficial. They are meant to impress us and to trick us into the trap of seeing is believing. Everyone wants to achieve their 15 seconds of fame in the virtual world. There’s this crazy idea that we can become rich and famous by sharing images of our life that imitates others who have made it big. But Curious Frame digs deeper into the world of images. I thank you for accompanying me on this journey to discover what's below the surface.
