The photo blog prompt for this was, “prove the saying “the camera never lies” wrong. take a picture of something that is not what it appears to be.” For this prompt, I decided to try using a photo of a pool to tell a story/imply something that isn’t true. The way the photo is posed, it makes the situation seem as if the viewer is about to step into the pool and go for a swim. There are steps leading into the water, indicating a path forward. However, this is a pool you are not allowed to swim in. It is located at Filoli gardens (go visit sometime if you can it has gorgeous gardens and historical buildings) and there are signs around it that dissuade visitors from getting to close to the water. Despite the way the photo portrays this pool, in reality, attempting to swim in this pool would likely not end well.
