Would you say that a carpenter who inlays a table with stone or covers a section of a wardrobe with leather is no longer a carpenter? Absolutely not! I can't think of any other artistic expression that carries along with it such prejudice against one of it's most essential tools. I can only imagine that such complaints are rooted in ignorance of the tool; assuming in some way that it cheapens art by reducing the skill involved (which, while it does provide means for "Actioning" this is like saying you can't be a photographer and shoot with a point-and-shoot). anywho, I appreciate your work and the thoughts. keep it up... Absolutely agree with you.

I agree with you 1000percent. The world would be a much better place if we would pay closer attention to our parents' advice when we were kids (If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it.). :D Thank you for all that you share! Have a happy day! :D I just found your blog as I chanced upon your fab textures on flickr. I agree with you 1000percent.

It would be different if there were regulations to what you can post on Flickr or if the person is adding post-images to a raw photography only site. But this isn't the case. There aren't many photos in print that aren't ran thru a post process of some sort. When I need inspiration for my photography, then I browse Flickr accounts that don't use much post, but if I'm looking for inspiration for creativity in my photos, then I'm looking thru those Flickr accounts that add a lot of post, all of it is GOOD stuff!! All in all, it doesn't matter what I think anyway :) Agree, 100%.
