Go you one better -- What is reality?

My definition:  a  photograph is art and/or documentary or somewhere in 
between. (Thinking of the  Photojournalism thread.)

Physical objects are easy. A chair is a chair. A  photo of a chair is a 
photo of a chair. 

But what is a war/a protest march/an airplane crash/a massive flood/a  
political meeting? And what are photographs of those events? 

It all  becomes subjective rather quickly.

Marnie aka Doe ;-)  I've never  been able to come up with a good definition 
for reality, myself.

Ahem, 24fps. Slo-mo is frowned upon.
