Can we see the world through objective eyes, or are we always the slaves of our own experiences?

One of the things that make photography fascinating for me is the ability to capture the "world" as you see it. At first, one can be tempted to say that photography is just a perfect reproduction of reality, but most of the time, it's not even close to it. Why does a photo show this scene and not another one? Why does it have this subject? Why is it focused in this way and not another?

I think it's very hard to capture "reality" in an objective manner. Just the fact that you "capture" a piece of it, raises the question why this piece and not another one?

But does it really matter? Do we really want to see the world with cold, objective eyes? I highly doubt it. Perhaps there's always a hidden tendency in us to see something more; to enrich the cold features with our own details, to add colour to the grey shades, to see things that aren't there and to obstruct the things that we don't want to notice.
