Someone commented on one of my photographs that it was a “beautiful capture”. It made me feel like it was just a snapshot. Some photographs out there are so digitally manipulated they no longer seem to be real images; they are still stunning, but can you still call them photographs? I honestly don’t know. Photographers have been manipulating images from day one, instead of the computer, it was the dark room. I guess I take umbrage that if my photograph isn’t presented with a thousand filters, appears with a cursive watermark, and isn’t artistic in some way, that my photograph is somehow invalid. #Photography #Photographer #PhotographerRant #Art #ArtAdvice #ArtRant
