I suppose it is for photographers not interested in life as it is, or for
photographers whose composition and exposure skills are minimal.

I like life as it is. I like to take photos that look as close to what I
saw as possible.



We recently came across an old, forgotten box of family photos. One was my
high school graduation "glamour" shot ..... you know, the ones that were
airbrushed back at the studio to remove a few pimples, add a tinge of ruddy
red to the cheeks and enhance the color of the eyes.

In my case, I am kinda glad the photographer didn't simply reproduce what he
saw. It wasn't pretty.

Did you have a flattop?

Here's a photo of someone's 14-year-old granddaughter.
Do you think it has been photoshopped?

I don't think so. But, I don't have much of an eye for these things. I
zoomed in on the obvious .... her eyes .... but the image just gets
pixilated and I can't tell.

Pretty girl, though.

So, was it?

Sometimes nature screws up. Reflecting on the high school glamour shot,
here's what I really look like now, in my mind's eye.

I've met you.

There is some small resemblance.
