Now you must have a much better understanding of what the post-impressionists - particularly Cezanne - faced from their contemporaries! I'd love to be able to see your new exhibition, but a trip to New York is not on the cards just now. An excellent piece!

However in the scientific arena, I suspect there may be some concern that in artificially altering reality we not confuse or substitute the artful creation for reality. Thus, identifying the change and the "artists" intention is essential to understanding the objective of the presentation Debra’s article is thoughtful and to the point.

But I was quickly captivated by the technology and the ability Photoshop gave me to enhance my meager camera skills. I have pondered the Photoshop question ever since. Now I see the entire picture creating process as the melding of the natural world and technology to communicate a message. The camera itself is just one tool and Photoshop is just another, in the construction process that begins with the photographers intent and ends with the viewers reaction. As soon as one presses a shutter one has used technology to create an image. It's the message not the method that counts. Oddly, my 20 year old daughter who is an aerospace engineering student at WVU, is quite disdainful of Photoshop and believes the only pure form of our art is black and white film photography. How did I go so wrong? Scott Durham When I first became aware of Photoshop, 15 or so years ago, I adamantly refused to use it.

And who really knows what the horse thought looking at the model T. ? WONDERFUL I think the artist with paint and brush must have looked askance at the guy with the camera.

Thank you. This question/statement is long overdue and needed to be said. And say it she did... beautifully. Look at "Roses in a Glass"; In my opinion, this is more interesting than the pre-manipulated image could be. Brilliant! Thank you. This question/statement is long overdue and needed to be said.
