Photography Lies: Post to Social Media Experiment

husky

So I decided to post the picture of the husky dog I took to Facebook. I felt like it was a picture that would get enough response from my family and friends. They know I love photography so putting this up wouldn’t seem too out of the ordinary. The types of responses I got were all positive and lots of questions. People were asking me if I got this close to a werewolf or wild dog! They were asking me if it was a fake dog!  Or if I got it off the internet. I definitely think this was a good choice because it was a clear example of the ambiguity that is involved in photography.  If I had posted a different picture of this dog next to a person or such you would clearly see his collar or true size and realize that it was a dog not a wolf of such. Overall I enjoyed the compliments on my photography but also believed it to be a valuable lesson of the types of things we see on social media.
