In the photography world there is so much beauty to capture. It is right there before us. There is available light vs. manufactured as with flashes and studio equipment and of course software such as photoshop--in the digital world anything is possible. I struggled with switching from film to digital because with film the results are what they are and with digital how do we know? Leads me to wonder if technology has come between us. I have attached some images taken digitally that were taken in available light with no software help and some that had help.....how do we really know though? I know.
On another level has technology come between us as human beings? It seems everything is done by email, text messaging, facebooking, twitter, myspace....on and on. I have observed on numerous occasions where human beings gather --such as meetings or social events and they are busy texting and checking their iphones and not conversing with the people that are right before them...hmmmm. I was at a restaurant awhile back and I noticed two ladies that were meeting for dinner. As soon as they sat down they were both on their cell phones for a long time. What can't wait? ... I know a time when the land line phones did not have long enough cords to reach restaurants so it had to wait. Technology. With it all, are we really getting what is truly there? I don't know...do you?
