“A fisherman’s cottage is described by real estate agents as a ‘property not to be missed’ but it is also just yards away from two nuclear power stations.”

Seth Dixon‘s insight:

A photograph (or landscape, map, etc.) is not an innocent reflection of reality.  They can be carefully crafted to tell a story which might reflect the bigger picture and your ideological framework–but it just as easily might obscure some important contexts and truths.  I use these images at the beginning of the semester to discuss the bias inherent in our own perspectives as I try to infuse my classroom with a variety of lenses with which to view different regions (images found here).
