In looking at this picture and making sense of it or even before that, deciding how to make sense of it, one may think that I am an artistic photographer. One who also believes in the objectivity of images, essentially photographic truth, may admire my artful pose as I snap a picture of the person in the red shirt. If being categorized scientifically, Sherlock Holmes may belittle me by saying that I lack intelligence and "have less frontal development" than he expected.However, as with any other image, photographic truth is, for the most part, a myth. However, the definition and its ability to be proven true or false depends on what type of image it is applied to. Also, the correct, legitimate application of the concept of this truth depends on the merits, type of image, and its significance. For example, I'm sure people could care less about this picture of myself. I, however, care about it because it features me in a somewhat cool-looking pose.
In regard to the above ideas, I don't think I'm overly not intelligent, but I do not think that I am very artistic, but this picture makes me look it, which is why I like it.
