Errol Morris
[Documentary filmmaker, b. 1948, Hewlett, New York, lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.]

 Photography presents things and at the same time hides things from our view, and the coupling of photography and language provides an express train to error. 
 Couldn’t you argue that every photograph is posed because every photograph excludes something? Even in framing and cropping? 
 When you see a picture, you don’t see outside the frame. 
 One of the incredibly deep ironies is that the [Abu Ghraib] photographs could serve as both an exposé and as a cover-up. That they would encourage people not to look any further and make them think they had seen everything. 
 Truth in photography is an elusive notion. There may not be any such thing.
