Almost White

Almost all cameras allow the user to set the photographic white point manually. To make this setting on some cameras, you have to shoot a picture of a usually white surface and set it as the white point reference. 

These pictures, usually deleted right after confirming the setting, question the concept of subjective realities in the photographic process and document the photographers surroundings from his part unconscious, part mechanic eye. Tthis is one of the last kinds of photography where no post processing is applied by a human while it shows how much the camera is manipulating the image already. 

Its one of the last snapshots of photographic truth in the digital imaging age.
