always lies". That pretty well sums up my read on this topic."
 
 . . . a good snappy title, for sure . . . if i were writing the book
i'd certainly want titles like that too . . . ain't nothing better than
epater-ing the ol' bourgeoisie . . . but if we really want to find common
ground [i hope we do] wouldn't it be better, at least on this list, to
say instead that "the camera never tells, and in fact cannot tell, the
whole truth" . . .
 
 . . . to leave the claim it in its more radical form suggests that
ALL camera images are equally false, or false in the same way . . . and
do we really wanna say that?
