(slight delay typing this up, just found a load of stuff I wrote as net and been down)
- photography has been changed in different ways mostly due to the advances in modern technology. this already give us the question of what is real and what has been digially altered? its ironic because photography is seen to be the form of perfection even the size element is wrong. it will always be a product of a memory i.e. a holiday.
- digital technology now provides a wide range of changes and a easier way to make changes than manual photography.
- theres no longer such things as a random photograph, not that there ever really was. people always pose for a photo no matter what they are doing. even when you are drunk on a night out you will always find yourself posing for a picture.
- digital photography is really 20 years old but its only now that people have started to do something with it and make something of it in the ways that it was or possibly was intended for.
- this always goes back to the human perfection side of things and people always wanting to have to ideal face and the ideal body. but even the people on TV and in magazines that we model ourselves on are changed digitally. you can now alter your image to be like them and be how you ideally want to be.
- the cost of the digial photo can be changed and is something like the DNA of a human body which may mean that one day we will be able just to change our DNA to look different and how we really want to be without the pain of plastic surgery.
