This article brings up very interesting points, though classic and unaltered photography is meaningful and true. The invention of photoshop has brought a whole new kind of photography. This new photography is more of a piece of work, an art that the photographer spends time working on so that they can rely the message they want. I found Gutschow and Frydlender’s work to be especially intriguing because of how their work defies time and space. I agree with Shambroom in that digitally altered photos should still look real; the art of using photoshop on real photographs should work so that the person doesn’t immediately doubt that the photo is real. It should make them question, wonder and contemplate, and I think that although untouched photos are special, this new kind is much more thought provoking and interesting.
