"...our own private world."

This is another quote I agree with.  Some photographers try and photograph the world as it is, with no editing and to show how things are.  While I find this admirable I also believe that it's completely impossible.  A photo is contained within it's borders.  Everything beyond the edges of the picture plane is unknown.  This means that every time a photographer chooses to leave something out of the frame they are leaving out information.  Even unintentionally there are edits to the reality, in which the artist decides what is the most important information.  These are personal decisions and in making personal decision they make their own world.
