Seeing the context in which the photos are taken (busy streets, kind of grimy looking) makes you realize how powerful a camera is at creating an illusion. That is, taking a good photo means composing your shot so that you don't include elements you don't want in it. What you end up with is a photo which makes it appear you're the only one at a location, or that a location is more beautiful or exciting than it actually is. Your brain fills in all the details of what's outside of the frame, which often isn't what's really there.
Exactly. “The photographer’s eye”. Photography isn’t much less art than, say, painting. Not much different than writing a novel, reporting on a court case or sharing your version of events to your marriage counselor.
