No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

CREATIVITY
Anything worth making comes from a particular angle, which means leaving things out, pressing on some parts and letting others blur. A perfectly accurate record of the world would be a record and not a made thing. The distortion is not a fault in the work; it is the part that belongs to whoever made it. What feels like your bias is often the only element that could not have come from anyone else.
Where you have been trying to stay neutral in something you are making, try being specific instead. Your slant is what a reader or a listener actually came for.
What do you see in your work that others call inaccurate?
