I view a lot of photography on line these days and I'm struck by how much of it is disingenuous. I see a lot of punched up sunsets and unnecessary colorizations that utterly kill their original subject by laying on the goo.
I have always thought that the point of technical innovation was to free the photographer to make the best possible photos without calling attention to itself. Gimmicks are everywhere, and some people have mistaken them for art.
I'm not proposing a "truth in photography" argument, but am curious to hear what others say about the subject.
