Hard to say. I could easily believe though that things like that are not always purely the imagination of the adoring owner. <br /><br />But when it comes to animals recognizing themselves in art and being aware of the camera... well, for me it sounds generally speaking very unlikely, even silly. Perhaps they can be aware of people looking at them and be delighted or disturbed by it (with dogs I think this is apparent), but how on earth could they spot a camera or understand the concept of a photograph? But maybe I'm just being narrow-minded? :) <br /><br />What do you think? <br /><br />PS. you express yourself very fluently, even with such an abstract and intellectual subject! This is a perfect balance between theory and examples which makes the text pleasant to read. You could easily extend this into a full-length essay with your own analysis of the topic if you like :) i would like to read it for sure.ellennoreply@blogger.com
