Photography has had the most peculiar effect on us: by simply, "objectively" recording reality, we are forced to reconsider exactly what truth is. Documentaries take this concept further. Can we really hope to ever accurately pinpoint some aspect of the world around us?

The very first documentary I really remember paying attention to was a short clip about these people that worshipped colors. Like, a rainbow. This lady sitting in an overstuffed chair going on and on about wavelengths and energies, and her kept little husband on the armrest agreeing every time she paused for breath. It was incredible. It was a mocumentary, I latter came to find out, but I don't know what it's called and can't find it anymore...
This is going to be an interesting semester.
