At what point do we stop believing what we see?

Film certainly is more believable, though what I fist did when I was given a manual SLR was take postcard type shots of sunsets and civic buildings.
Those subjects lost interest for me when I realised I was using the camera to distort reality rather than represent it, e.g waiting for good weather, cropping ugly signage and buildings out, maximising greenery. You're editing and distorting the world as soon as you raise the viewfinder to your eye.
People seem to accept images as "true", yet the way we see them is very different to the way we see the world.

I agree. "Shoot wide and crop later" seemed like a good idea with digital action shots, until I had to spend hours on end cropping in photoshop
