Genuine?

America thrives when at the front of

the camera; the lens sees only those

prideful, successful moments; just the pros

of society, the union and love

of American culture: baseball gloves,

and fireworks, and victory in war

for worldwide peace. Look how that eagle soars,

a patriotic advocate above.

But what happens when the photos don’t show

Uncle Sam at his best? He can distort  

the truth, create a mirage that reports

misconceptions to the public. And though


the photos may be candid, it depends;

photographers choose where to point the lens.

I wrote this piece as a photographer to show how powerful photography can be.
