What is Photo-Mythology?

What is the meaning of the name of this blog.  It is very simple.  Everyone's photographs tell a story. This is true of professionals, hobbyists and snap and shooters.  It is even true of the work of chronic selfie-takers.

Whatever the photographers intent, he or she is telling you something about the person behind the camera, or in the case of selfies, the person both behind and in front of the camera.


This blog is very personal.  I am telling stories about myself and my experiences.  I appear to be truthful, but nothing is straightforward as it seems.  Sometimes what you see is simply photo-mythology.  That is I am showing you artifice as well as fact.  It can start with things I know to be true, but in the telling of the story I add embellishments.  I do this because I don't know everything so I make stuff up that might be right or wrong. Sometimes, I am just concealing the truth. The viewer needs to decide whether what he or she sees is fact or fiction or a combination of the two.


Am I Happy Here?

to know the answer to this question you would have to know what happened
before this picture was taken
where it was taken
and how I have edited it
BTW the answer is no I was not happy,
but I was trying to make the best of what was a very bad situation.

  1. I cannot for the life of me remember why I was unhappy— must have been not so bad. Most of the time, I am in fact happy.
