In the first image the viewer sees a woman taking some photographs in the rain. However, when you zoom out from this first image, you see that the photographer is actually standing in a flood where the water is up to her waist. It would be easy to look at either of the photos and just assume what they are at face value. However, in terms of the "myth of the photographic truth" it depends on the person taking the photo to depict the message and the meaning that they want other viewers to gather from the photo. Photos in the past were always thought to convey realism because they were photographs from that time. However, it is up to the person behind the lens to tell the story through the photo.
