Photoshop is not boring if sused right...what is boring is everything looks the same and the mags are at fault...they demand mundane crap.s

He's talking magazines, where everything has been photoshopped to death-- but I do see that in shows, too.  I'm not sure what it is, except that everyone is using the same Photoshop apps, and I still think that images made from film (even if then digitally printed) have something that digital scans just don't.

Nothing much distinguished them.  At least, that's how I heard it.  I think you almost can't do any photography today without some technological aspect attached to it (eg, making digital negatives, for instance-- scanning film and cleaning up the dust marks).
