I love Errol Morris. He makes films that make me gasp at the wonder, magic and horror of this planet we call home. And now he is blogging for The New York Times! His first piece Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire is about what pictures can tell us and, specifically, whether they can tell us the truth. He writes that “there is nothing so obvious that it’s obvious.” I like this quote because his films show us this, time and time again.

Read the long list of comments for some rigorous debate about the nature of truth, meaning and context.
