RE: The jousting files #1.....Defining perspectives, at least it's a start.
I cover may points in post regardless of whether I read some comments or not. If a point you made was relevant to one of my posts, without me reading the comment I am likely (or at least potentially likely) to have thought of the same point. It is the way minds tend to wander.
As for the images - context matters. I see them for what they are.
Context does matter, they are flowers. And no matter the location, they are flowers. applying all of the location history to a flower isn't the context of the flower. Essentially, I could have used a flower picture from anywhere (like from my garden) and told the same story and that image then gets some external meaning applied to it. I could have used the same image and given a happy story as the contextual frame and the image changes in perspective again. The narrative is what people imagine and apply, not the reality of the flower just being a flower.
So, you can imagine how a news service or political party with an agenda could use images tied to a narrative to sway an audience. Well, it doesn't need to be imagined does it, it happens daily.
