Beautiful and inspiring, especially as I look out of the window at leaden grey skies.

I know that at least one of these photos isn’t photoshopped, since it was taken here in iceland and capture what a rainy night looks like to me. It is the one taken throught a car window looking up a street with stoplights and large houses on either side. It is actually a street close to the University so I drive it all the time… funny finding it here when I was just using StumbleUpon ;)

So what if some (or all) are photoshopped? Are you not inspired, moved, in awe, think of life a little brighter?

One can say that CG is “not truth”, “not reality”. Neither is television, films. In fact, photography is “not reality” – one uses aperture settings and white balance to get the best effect. Photoshop just aids this representation. Do you not use sunglasses when the light is too bright? Do you not use makeup on your face? It is to enhance, protect and shield. Photoshop can manipulate, enhance, focus and improve.

What is reality? Is it what you can see, touch? Then how does one represent this in a picture? A picture is a signifier – it points to the referent, it is not the referent itself. A photoshopped photograph is simply an enhancement of that reference, it is not a simulacrum.

Perhaps one should look at the theory of reality before one starts to detract from the beauty inherent in these photographs. The photographer still needs to compose and light the shot. What this photographer (he or she) has produced is an incredible form of art, photoshop or not.
