Incorrect....which you dont seem to understand *LOL*

So you are telling me all my photos have been manipulated?

There are different forms of photography also, that needs to be taken into account. Some take photos for just themselves, others take them to use as an artform (generally varying degrees of manipulation), others do HDR photography (this is where i wanna head to at some stage), which is 3 photos of the same thing with different values put together to make an enhanced photo.

Photography has advanced no doubt, but there are still those photographers that use film cameras and darkrooms, no photoshop ect

The Authenticity is still there, it has not disappeared. Same as back when, they manipulated or not to the levels they could with what they had, wether they be professionals or not. Today we are no different, we manipulate or not to the levels we can with what we have. And in the future they will do no different.

Just because technology is here doesnt mean photos are less authentic. If you doubt a persons work ask, most have no problems telling you if the photos has been touched.
