Evidence, Truth, and Order

I think that the "truth" of a photograph is as much as one can see in it...If the pictures is not manipulated in any way shape or form then it is the truth to some extent. Just a plain photograph is the truth at the vantage point of the photographer. Its the truth in that second the pictures is taken. Its captureing that moment in history forever as evidence of what was occuring at that time. Everything though has control on the interpretation of this truth and order. The time of day, setting or background, shadows, the light, the angle of the photo ect.
