What do you think of this paragraph from the book? (pg. 26)
Give me your opinions. I find it very interesting.
“In this digital age, photographers are often tempted to take shortcuts to visual power by creating altered images of nature that never were before their eyes. As this straight-image success story unfolds, it shows us that the power of a nature photograph is irrevocably connected to our human belief system, rather than wholly rooted in the image itself as so many photographers, publishers, and members of the public wrongly assume. The tremendous public response to this photograph is inextricably tied to the belief that it truthfully represents a “real” event witnessed by another human being.”
Thanks.

I hate to say it, but it seems we live in a society that wants to believe that you can cheat to accomplish any goal. All of my photographs are right outta the camera, all of them. I believe that you get the best composure, exposure, at the time you trip the shutter, then you can use the computer programs to edit the photos! I don't have Adobe photoshop yet. I must do the best that I can.
