At what point does a photo become an illustration or work of art? Photoshop recently launched its Sky Replacement tool, and this weekend I gave it a whirl. You can see the original image here:
www.flickr.com/gp/starwizard/riCyoi
The sky replacement was very, very simple. The water reflection took a lot of trial and effort; it's not yet part of the sky replacement built-in tool. The water area still needs about an hour more of attention to clean up some pixel peeping details.
It's an amazing transformation into a believable scene I dream of capturing - I am sure I could sell this as a work of art, and most people would never question the authenticity.
At what point do our edits change a photo to an illustration or work of art?
“I don't need fame or fortune, what I need is a few people who are with me. Besides me. Walking a similar path. Who listen when I speak. And pay attention when I don't. Those people who make it all worth it. Who make my heart smile and my mind happy. Who teach me what love is. Show me how to do life right. Who have risen to the heights. Who are born of fire. That ooze authenticity. That walk with their shadow. Who get my weirdness because they either share it or have their own. Give me a handful of those people. They're all I need to get by.”

"Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are."
It has taken a lot of years to peel away my own layers; Grateful for the journey. I am truly happy in my own skin.
This is me.

I really liked the authenticity of this guy… the cool, quiet way in which he wordlessly allowed himself to be photographed. I showed him this picture and he asked me to send it to him… which of course I did.
Authenticity is the source of success ...
highlights ...
some light situations can only be photographed around December 21, when the sun, shining from the south, is flat enough ...
manche Lichtsituationen kann man nur um den 21. Dezember fotografieren, wenn die Sonne, aus Süden kommend, flach genug steht ...
Authentizität ist der Urspung des Erfolges ...

At lade billederne fortælle deres egen historie uden for mange forstyrrelser i motivet kan virkelig fremhæve deres naturlige skønhed og autenticitet. Hver detalje i billedet får lov til at skinne og bidrage til den samlede fortælling. Det er en kunst at kunne fange øjeblikke på en måde, der føles ægte og uforstyrret. Billedet viser en vinter skov i Næstved lokal privat skov. Skoven er fyldt med høje træer, hvoraf nogle har mos på stammerne. Skovbunden er dækket af et tykt lag af røde og brune blade, som er faldet fra træerne. Der er også flere store grene og stammer, der ligger spredt på jorden. I baggrunden kan man ane en lille sø eller vandløb, som tilføjer en rolig og naturlig atmosfære til scenen. Skoven ser ud til at være i en rolig og stille tilstand, typisk for vintermånederne, hvor træerne har mistet deres blade. Dette billede er interessant, fordi det fanger den naturlige skønhed og ro i en vinter skov, og det viser, hvordan naturen ændrer sig med årstiderne.

Letting the photos tell their own story without too much distraction in the subject can really highlight their natural beauty and authenticity. Every detail of the picture is allowed to shine and contribute to the overall narrative. It's an art to be able to capture moments in a way that feels real and undisturbed. The picture shows a winter forest in Næstved, local private forest. The forest is filled with tall trees, some of which have moss on the trunks. The forest floor is covered with a thick layer of red and brown leaves that have fallen from the trees. There are also several large branches and trunks scattered on the ground. In the background, you can see a small lake or stream, which adds a calm and natural atmosphere to the scene. The forest appears to be in a calm and quiet state, typical of the winter months when the trees have lost their leaves. This image is interesting because it captures the natural beauty and tranquility of a winter forest, and it shows how nature changes with the seasons.

Italien / Italy
English:
A trip to Lake Garda will reveal all the beauty of northern Italy to you. In the south, the picturesque lake merges into the Po plain, while in the north-east the Monte Baldo massif, which is up to 3,000 meters high, is enthroned. Idyllic fishing villages appeal with colorful facades, harbors and Italian authenticity. Illuminated castles watch over the lake at night. Palm trees, pines, cypresses and olive trees shade the wonderful beaches of Lake Garda.
Deutsch:
Eine Reise an den Gardasee offenbart Ihnen die ganze Schönheit Norditaliens. Im Süden geht der malerische See in die Po-Ebene über, während im Nordosten das bis zu 3.000 Meter hohe Monte-Baldo-Massiv thront. Idyllische Fischerorte gefallen mit farbenfrohen Fassaden, Häfen und italienischer Authentizität. Am See wachen nachts beleuchtete Burgen über den See. Palmen, Pinien, Zypressen und Olivenbäume beschatten die wunderbaren Strände des Gardasees.

Centred on the artist as avatar, she builds, breaks down, gestures, cries, dissolves. Colour passes over her monochromatic existence. At all times somebody and nobody. An exercise in the minimal.

Step into the world of ancient Roman elegance with our latest creation: a majestic two-storey city villa crafted for the elite. Designed with authenticity and atmosphere in mind, this villa features handmade, carefully selected textures that bring the refined charm of an upper-class Roman home to life.
At the heart of the villa lies a spacious atrium, serving as both the entrance and central hub, seamlessly connecting all rooms on both levels. The lower floor boasts a grand banquet hall for gatherings and feasts, as well as the study of the Pater Familias—a dignified space where he receives clients and handles business affairs.
To the rear, a serene garden provides a quiet retreat, while the two large upstairs bedrooms share a balcony overlooking the garden. There’s ample space for a fully-equipped roman kitchen and a private latrine, ensuring historical accuracy and functional design.
The villa’s exterior is equally striking, with a majestic portico that commands attention. A covered area near the side entrance adds both style and shelter, enhancing the overall architectural balance.

in the heart of paris, at the wonderful sicilian restaurant respiro, giuseppe served us with a smile that brightened our day, which was grey and rainy. this moment was pure serendipity, almost magical, his comedic talent, shown between serving dishes, seemed to echo through the streets. when i noticed how the table perfectly mirrored the scene, i had to capture this fleeting moment. giuseppe, completely unaware, became a living artwork in motion, caught in a step where up and down blend seamlessly. his authenticity and energy are the true soul of this photograph.

The Celebrity Impersonators' Guild of Las Vegas meet regularly to critique each other's costumes and performances. Newbies receive the harshest criticism from the more experienced performers. Authenticity is vital. Here we see a foolish Lincoln impersonator who failed to realize that the famous American president never grew a mustache.

Mademoiselle Isabeau is my latest OOAK creation, made for my friend Valentina. She was made after a model that my friend choose, but she's different from that and unique.
She whears a silk dress in 2 colors decorated with lace and flowers, pearl jewelery and a pink natural pearl in the middle of the nacklace . She also has an umbrella and a small beauty spot, as a mark of my work.
Every doll has an Authenticity certificate that is unique and personalized with her name, photo and my signature.
in the quiet ballet of barcelona's old town, the street becomes a stage set against an audacious pink wall. two figures move in the muted symphony of daily life; her patterned garment whispers tales of heritage against the unspoken boldness of the wall. his stride, clothed in the stark contrast of black with a swoosh as his companion, punctuates the scene with the contemporary beat of the city. side by side yet wrapped in their own narratives, they move past the silent witness of street art and closed doors. the scene is an unplanned choreography of old meets new, tradition dances with modernity, a vivid encounter of lives and colors.
“The desert and the ocean are realms of desolation on the surface.
The desert is a place of bones, where the innards are turned out, to desiccate into dust. The ocean is a place of skin, rich outer membranes hiding thick juicy insides, laden with the soup of being.
Inside out and outside in. These are worlds of things that implode or explode, and the only catalyst that determines the direction of eco-movement is the balance of water.
Both worlds are deceptive, dangerous. Both, seething with hidden life. The only veil that stands between perception of what is underneath the desolate surface is your courage. Dare to breach the surface and sink.” - Vera Nazarian

I've been holding back this series for some time (slightly over the year), because I wanted to take some new images at this years festival..... to see if I can achieve a more holistic set.
I must admit I don't watch Chinese opera, and cannot grasp the Teochew dialect. However when I see a group of passionate people who want to promote and continue a fading tradition, I cannot help but be moved by the authenticity and fervor displayed by them.
Can only hope that my images depict the mood and feel of the performance and does justice to their fabulous art form.
1975 Alpine-Renault A441C Sports Racing Prototype
Flavien Marcais, La Gaudaine, France
This Alpine-Renault A441C was raced at Le Mans in
1975 under the Equipe Elf Switzerland banner by Marie
Claude Beaumont and Lella Lombardi, but it did not finish
because the fuel pump failed after eight hours. It went on
to complete the World Endurance Championship, finishing
with a class win, followed by 4th overall at Monza. The
Alpine-Renault A441C is constructed around a tubular
chassis, reinforced with aluminum riveted panels, and fitted
with a two-seater fiberglass body. It is powered by a mighty
V6, 4-cam, 2.0-litre Renault engine, mated to a 5-speed
gearbox, giving 300 hp with a top speed of 185 mph. The
car was acquired by Giancarlo Naddeo from the factory
in 1976, and remained in his care until 2009, when Flavien
Marcais purchased it in highly original racing condition.
Since a sympathetic restoration to retain its authenticity,
the car is used sparingly on French circuits for
demonstration purposes only and has been exhibited
at the Le Mans Museu
The authenticity of this building is in question in my mind. It is an old building. But, was it originally the J. A. Wall Store established in 1906? I rather doubt it. If it was, it has had the unfortunate history of being called something stupid like the Old Time Store. Right now it's just a falling down repository of junk. Seen on US 704, Stokes County.
