Errol Morris on Photography.

Morris talks about how to look at a photograph and how when people observe things, they can begin to better understand the image and the intentions by the photographer. 
Photographs are all posed and people can see only what the photograph is showing them based on details and other things in the photograph. Famous photographs are known to create a certain power among people using their emotions. These photographs have made people more interested in photography as a whole. 

Perception in a big part of photography because there is always something outside of the picture that you cannot see. The particular photographer chose to photograph their specific subject for a reason though to create a certain perception and it is up to the viewer to recognize this.
