..is the title of one of the tracks on the new Everything Everything album. Features great lines like "What have you done with my Father? Why does he look like a carving?"..and "My teeth dazzle like an igloo wall"..!
Looking through other photographers' websites it seems Photoshop is often more important than Photography! Brides are soft-focussed to buggery, albums carry overlapping images that bear no relevance to each other, and competitions feature portraits of people without a single pore on their face! Photographers 'do' the retouching because they can..it's in their 'toolbox' so they're going to use it! Of course, I use Photoshop, but only to tighten up my pictures from their basic camera form. My friend asked me if I was going to get the upgrade to Photoshop 5. I told him my version of Photoshop is so old it doesn't even have a number!! Thing is..it does what I need it to, so why just get more and more gimmicks? I'm more into reality, in that I don't generally take a shot and wonder what I can do with it later. I'd rather get it right in the camera and leave it at that...
Anyway, here's a shot I Photoshopped earlier...
Ok, ok..it has its place !! ;-)
