Part 1
1. You see digital images on the advertisements you pass by, the fliers detailing when the next club event, anything visual that has been printed has most lily gone throughs one form of digital editing and therefore is a digital image.
2. It's a place where you can easily create images that use common everyday images and combine them into something new that can be used for entertainment.
3. Digital imaging gives me an outlet to make the fantasy real and make the comical possible visually.
4. I believe that artists have always had artistic licensing when capturing the world around them. You are aware that a painter is potentially romanticizing the women in the image, as there is no photograph for us to know if it's accurate. However in modern society digital imagery and modern photoshop aesthetics alter your version of reality. How are you to know what is and isn't recolored and retouched? The fact is we don't, and in doings creates a false sense of reality, and creating visual social standards that are not achieved without great strife.
5. Its comical and not surprising seeing how photos have been edited throughout the ages. From subtle things that one wouldn't notice such as color changes, or blatantly putting another famous persons head on another persons body shamelessly.
6. The one that stood out the most was the Huffpost altering the photo to show Mubarak in front of Obama. This was a subtle yet powerful difference hat we are at a point in society where we cannot trust the very evidence that proves our history existence. That we have to factcheck the very images that gives us proof that an event accused could be altered. 100's of years to come if a photo was found out to be altered that was mass produced into history books, we are subtly creating a false history for future generations.
