"Let the use of the word teach you it's meaning"

"Politicians use lies to conceal the truth, artists use lies to tell the truth"

Two apt quotes from different source (dont know where they came from originally tbh).  I'm a fan of the "Final picture" being the objective, the manner in which you get there is up to you and also i beleive it is up to the photographer to tell whether it was done or not. You may feel deceived if you discover your favourite photo is a manip (my mother doesnt like one of my photos now that she knows the crop was used to take out a distracing element of the shot), but is not ignorance bliss?

Just food for thought...

"In every colour, there's the light.
In every stone sleeps a crystal.
Remember the Shaman, when he used to say:
Man is the dream of the Dolphin"
