Am I not a *true* photographer?

I find post processing almost as fun as shooting itself. The entire workflow is great. You learn so much each time you go through the process.

Since the advent of phtotography, photographers were limited by/aided by what was available to them at the time. In the scope of this medium, technology could be viewed as the latest chemical. H.C. Bresson would never crop a photo--does that make him a "truer" photographer than someone who does?

That is easier to fix than over exposure. How do I know? Cause I have done both. Live and learn.

A true photographer is one that understands and implements all the elements that are part of making a photograph. Be it lighting, exposure, composition, and post production all are equal in the sight of photography. For all elements were created equal. LOL!
