The desire to live the perfect life<\/span><\/p>\n

The white picket fence<\/span><\/p>\n

The wraparound porch<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2.3 children<\/span><\/p>\n

With perfect teeth<\/span><\/p>\n

Excelling in athletics<\/span><\/p>\n

And academics<\/span><\/p>\n

The faithful and doting spouse<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You know what I mean<\/span><\/p>\n

You look at those pictures<\/span><\/p>\n

And you buy into the romanticized life<\/span><\/p>\n

And wonder why you don\u2019t have it<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a photographer<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel an obligation<\/span><\/p>\n

To the rest of the human race<\/span><\/p>\n

To clue you in on a well kept secret<\/span><\/p>\n

Life in pictures<\/span><\/p>\n

Is staged<\/span><\/p>\n
