Can’t trust some photos

Untitled” (gelatin silver print), by Hein Gravenhorst, in the group show “Seeing Is Not Believing: Ambiguity in Photography,’’ at the Currier Museum of Art, in Manchester, N.H.

The museum says:

“Many photographers play with ambiguities – creating images which question what is real. Perspective, lighting, and close-up details can radically distort the look of objects. These distortions can be both bewildering and delightful.

“This exhibition explores photographs that make us question what we are looking at. Still lifes, abstract images, and manipulated photographs heighten our sense of wonder. Can we ever trust what we see in a photograph?’’
