Ground Zero
The cultural, commercial and financial center of Northern California.
I when I joined flickr a few years back i was completely enamored with the amazing photography I discovered. Coming from the graphic design industry I like to think I have an eye for what looks good and I would sit and drool over the great looking images I would find here. I wanted to create my own images.
I never imagined the level of trickery or photoshop most all the images I loved contained. Yes, these images were processed, and not just a little bit - These Were Fakes! I went thru a period of acceptance. I struggled with this.
Over time, I have come to understand & believe that photoshop is just another tool. I'm finding, that many times I can improve upon what I have captured in the field and, an improvement is just that.
I wanted to share my opinion as I have a close friend/photographer who is a photo-manipulation denier and it seems this is a constant point of contention.
Bla!
