This is pause worthy. I can look at this photo multiple times and feel enchanted like the
first time; however, I hear this is photoshopped. Ugh...photoshop. It's disappointing
when I see a picture so beautiful, only to find out it's not real. Yes, photoshop is magical and
imaginative, but it's also dismaying, misleading, and for me, anticlimactic. Unable to believe
or differentiate truth from fabrication is unnerving. As cool as an image may look, if it's been
altered to portray or tell a false story, it goes straight into my mental junk neuron. My automatic
response to any gasp activating photograph today is, "is this real?". Having to question
a photo's authenticity is indeed pitiful, but I would be a fool to believe everything I see online.
Let's not be fools. Man, I love this photo and I hate it.
Overall, if something is clearly meant to be creative and experimental with the use of photoshop,
I'm all for it. When photoshop is used with the intention to pass something off as authentic or real
when it's not, I turn sour. My rant about this aspect of abuse in today's digital age is now over.
