I couldn't agree more. I've strongly disagreed with many authors,
especially W. M. Mitchell (The Reconfigured Eye) who contends there is a
disconnect between the original scene as "witnessed" when digital means
are employed. He's basically, in my opinion, is calling digital
photographers liars and deceivers. If you can't respect the integrity of
the person, why blame a medium that only makes it easier to distort or
lie?
Also about his writings...
