Photography vs. Photoshopography

There’s a great discussion happening here based upon the Photoshop vs. pure photography argument. There’s been a debate for as long as I can remember over whether a photograph is considered a “work of art” strictly on the attributes of it’s own creation (composed entirely in camera via settings and available light), or if digital manipulation (Photoshop) is an acceptable tool in enhancing an image to where the artist originally envisioned it, AS the picture was taken.

Path of Least Resistance

I really appreciate the recent “plugs” for my work – wurh.com had some very kind words. Her ambition will carry her far in this world. Japan Window recently mentioned javajive. His writing is interesting and opens the portal to Japan through beautiful imagery. I was especially surprised to see that Quarlo has added my site to his link section. I’ve been following his work for a couple of years and always respected his selection of talented artists. I’m not sureRead more
