When watching a movie, its likely that two different people are left with two completely different interpretations of what happened. Even though they are watching the same thing, their experiences, beliefs and mindset lead them to draw different conclusions.
The same applies with photos...
When your friends are flicking through someone elses Facebook photos, they may feel a sense of jealousy over how scintillating one's weekend was. To me, however - photos on the floor with your hands in the air are simply creative individuals going out of their way to act out a night they wish had taken place. Some may call me a skeptic, but I like to think of it as living by the rule of 'guilty until proven innocent'. These people are guilty of creating a fraudulent lifestyle for the public eye, playing out their fantasies through carefully constructed images. They will be proven innocent when I have personally witnessed their 'awesome life' first hand. With most individuals, this is one case they cant win!
I am a master of selecting images that capture a moment, and know very well that 'capturing a moment' is very different to creating one.
