  • Drinking: you know what...fuck it all
You know the phrase Art tells the truth by using lies, or some variation of it? Well that's bullshit. I've been thinking about it a lot, and all art does, all photography really does, is tell lies and brings up questions. The more you think it tells you, the more questions it brings up. And then where are you? You learned nothing, and you know less than what you did when you started. It makes you think what it means, what story is behind it, what it's telling you and what it's hiding from you.
You're shown an image, and what you're supposed to do, what you know you're supposed to do, is figure out what it means, why it was made. You're "supposed" to figure it out. Well fuck that, just look at the damn thing! Screw having to have a reason. It's not about a reason. It's about seeing what it means to you. That can't be graded, and it can't be wrong. So go look, and figure out what the fuck it means to you.
