I heard a friend say, "Photographers should never use photoshop. It is not pure photography."
I disagree with the principle behind his thinking.
Why shouldn't people explore new things? Why shouldn't people accept new things? Why should they stick to the old and tested in order to be considered worthwhile?
Don't get me wrong - I am all for photographs being used as it is -straight from the camera. There are some photos of mine, which I hardly touch, except for maybe move the contrast slider a notch. Then there are photos that I turn completely on its head and do so till it matches the image in my head.
If we always stick to the tried and tested path then the universe will not expand ad we will not grow. Innovations and inventions happen because somebody wanted to do something differently from what's being done.
There is room for all.
I love this image simply because it tells me there are no boundaries or dos and dont's for experimentation and experiences in life.
