...interesting view

20 years ago I worked as a lab (analog) assistant and I recall receiving long and detailed instructions from photographers on how to process their photos in the lab. Hours of work were spent in the dark dealing with them, I see no difference whatsoever from spending hours working on a photo with Photoshop. Now things are easier and all the post-processing takes place in a "digital dark room", but that doesn't make digital photography less honest. They are only different processes to accomplish the same goal, make our images look better. Right?

update

So today I started on the book proposal that will get sent out for review. I've managed to finish a skeleton of the biography, in addition to the Recent Media Appearances section. Next week, I will work on developing these sections more and moving to the analysis on market competition & primary positioning. Crystal, have you started to notice any trends while searching?

Jeff one thing to think about: Endorsements. Will you want to include these, and if so, should I start contacting folks to retrieve them?


Happy Friday. See you all again on Monday!

deception by the NY Times

Hi all! It took some time to find a blog name that was available...there are a lot out there with deception in the url (and perhaps they're worth visiting?). Anywho, hope that this title works.

Something that I actually had in my inbox from months past was a short news brief from the NY Post about deceptive real estate photographs printed in the NY Times. I initially had it because at the time my brother was looking for a house on the outskirts of the city. But I think I saved it because this wasn't the typical story about another photograph wrongly representing a person or place for self enhancement. This was about a house...a house shown by the NY Times in a piece on unmaintained homes. Seemingly there was no vested interest in the portrayal of its property value (but who knows, maybe it did?). Thephotographer wasn't scheming to sell it; quite the opposite, he made it look unsellable. So. Before starting my search for the deceptive photographs of people...I thought I would segue in with a deceptive photograph of a home. Interesting thing to be deceptive on, no? An uninhabitable home. This (I imagine) is where the question always gets raised: is technology really enabling easier deception... or is it simply making the deception more apparent? And is this deception appearing more rampant because those in 'power' positions are using it to sell (very visible) articles?
