Red Ring Tupperware Party, Autumnal Equinoctal Edition (24)

It's 63F here right now, and sunny. Yesterday it was raining and windy, we got another 1.25" of rain. Tomorrow is supposed to be a high of 79F.

I'm firmly in the camp that anything done to a photo is fair game. Edits, composites, taking away or removing elements, and adjustments or manipulation of any kind is fair game to me.

If you believe the above, why the problem with:

I'm familiar with the image to which you refer, as well as other moon shots where the scale of the moon compared to foreground is obviously off. I haven't seen any of that in his Vegas gallery, and even if price were no object, I wouldn't buy such obvious composites; others do, whether or not they realize it's not a "pure" photograph. As far as his verbal embellishments of what he had to go through for the shots, I couldn't care less. When I look at photography, or any other piece of art, it's the final product on the wall that matters, and how it pleases me. I pay little attention to what's written beside it. The guy could be a total arse for all I care.

I like most of what I've seen of his. I don't think I know of any artist of which I like all their work. Anyway, I saw several pieces last night that I would like hanging in my home.

I'm one of the people that have issues with him. I have no issues whatsoever about his imagery and love his work, but I have issues with the bull#$%^ he put's behind it. I'm firmly in the camp that anything done to a photo is fair game. Edits, composites, taking away or removing elements, and adjustments or manipulation of any kind is fair game to me. However, don't lie about it. Coming off and telling me you waited on the rocks for months just for the perfect moment and literately had an orgasm as you pressed the shutter button to capture a million dollar wall hanger with just one shot is just plain lying when the image is clearly a manipulated composite of various photos. So great image, but cut the BS Pete. Let the image stand on it's own, or, if your gonna lie about it, at least put the clouds in front of the moon and not behind it. Last time I checked, the moon is pretty far away and clouds are not.

Well if he is lying then shame on him. If he used photoshop (or whatever) just step up and own it.

Exactly, the image stands on it own. The Oxyclean type schtick wrapped around the image and the insinuation that this is a out of the camera single click image is deceitful.

Wanna see something funny? Just Google "worst tattoos" and check out the images.

Some folks are just pure stupid.

OMG!

I would never get a tattoo on my face, neck, or chest area. I want to be able to cover all mine.

My latest tattoo was finished yesterday.

You should see the ink I see in the jail. Such idiots. One Sureno gang banger apparently meant to tattoo SUR above his eyebrow while looking in the mirror. Now everyone calls him Rus.

These other clowns with full face and neck tats will never have a normal life. At least not a decent job.

That's pretty cool.

Now imagine that on a forehead.

Yep. I have 10 tattoo and all but one are covered with jeans and a tee shirt. That last one is visible as a reminder to myself.

I've got nothing against artfully done tattoos, but some people look like a five-year old went crazy on them while they were passed out on the couch.

I really like the ones that have misspelled words.
"No regerts" "I'm awsome" "East Cost"....
