Why being a purist in Photography is just nonsense

[Deneys]

heheh OK maybe not a pure purist as they would have used stick-on-lables and a pen and not a PC to create the instructions

Hey, thats mine! Where did you get that!

- ok just kidding. But seriously, some of the print labs I know actually need stuff like that, but in like English i.e. no techie talkie

Just been to your website and your ODP gallery. I haven't seen even 1 image that I would not regard as a photograph.

Well, I wasn't trying to justify anything I did - I actually prefer photos that look natural (even if they aren't). I just object to rules that force me to wonder whether or not I am going too far when I am playing with a photo or manipulating it to show what I experienced when I took it.

And I object to any attempt to put boundaries around creativity. Especially if those boundaries are so arbitrary, that even though who want to impose them don't know where they are...

I'm fortunate in that 90% of my work is editorial in nature which means instead of wasting time on post processing I can spend more time doing what I love the most, taking more photos!
