Jamie Windson's, Are These Photographs Cheating?


For my photographer friends: I would be interested in your thoughts on this video Are These Photographs Cheating?, by Jamie Windson. It is a little over ten minutes long. I would like to point out that two of the photographs discussed, one by Robert Frank from his iconic book The Americans and one by Ancel Adams, Moonrise Over Hernandez, are from the film days. Frank’s is a composite; Adams’ is highly manipulated. So for the SOOC crowd, even the best of the best were manipulating images long before digital.


I am posting a notice to Facebook hoping to get some feedback. In the meantime, I will work up a piece with my thoughts and post it in a day or two.
