- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Barthes and Sontag have been rather often referred to in the forum in the past, and most probably with little understanding since they do go on a bit leaving many thinking "I must be doing it wrong cos I don´t get it".
So, are we lesser photographers if we therefore "fail"...obviously not.
There is however a clear point being made...that there is something for everyone in the activity we call photography. And that there is something to be gained by trying to understand it at all levels, from the "how" to the "why", and finally "what does it all mean". The more we do this, the more we have a chance at improving...something, be it our photography or perhaps ourselves as humans.
