This past Sunday, I had much needed "me-time." And when all else fails, I usually find myself at a bookstore with other stressed book lovers sipping on a grande Starbucks coffee. A table stacked high with photography books caught my eye. As I started flipping through
Life: The Classic Collections, I was thinking how raw the black and white photos looked. Absolutely beautiful in unique ways, each one hitting new thoughts and emotions. Then I began thinking about editing photos. How did they do it in the past? How long have photos been retouched? Are there such things as un-retouched photos? So next step I went to Google like every other inquiring individual. I found this has been happening for years! Do you know of the famous photo of Abraham Lincoln's portrait where is standing tall and strong next to a chair? It is not even his body! Photos has been lying to us for years and years. So is there such a thing as a true photograph?
