parigby Posted December 14, 2008 Share #3 Posted December 14, 2008 I'm a bit confused too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted December 15, 2008 Share #4 Posted December 15, 2008 :confused: Is this about digital photo frames I wonder ? A photo is a photo be it displayed in print or digitally. Perhaps it should be 'Photographic Print' and 'Photographic Digital Image' but that's just getting silly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
like_no_other Posted December 15, 2008 Share #5 Posted December 15, 2008 No, they aren't. As soon as you add subjects in the photo or subtract subjects from the photo it isn't authentic anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted December 15, 2008 Share #6 Posted December 15, 2008 That is then a manipulated photographic image, but it is still a photographic image/photograph print. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when Stalin had people no longer in favor airbrushed out of images, the results were no longer photographs? What about images where people are cropped from the edges? Also no longer photographs? ...meet it is I set it down... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally without having to fear any actions from Stalin nowadays I wouldn't call a photo authentic if a person have been removed or added. '...meet it is I set it down...' Can't translate that. Is this a complementary close I could use in business e-mails? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho_co Posted December 16, 2008 Share #9 Posted December 16, 2008 Maybe if Stalin did this it was up to him to call it authentic. ... I'm sure he would agree with you, and I certainly wouldn't argue. '...meet it is I set it down...' Can't translate that. Is this a complementary close I could use in business e-mails? I think from your smiley that you're asking tongue-in-cheek; however, if not: It's an off-topic quote from Hamlet, 16th century English meaning "It is proper that I write it down." It's used ironically by Hamlet in the sense of "Oh, you don't say, really? Let me make a note of that. I would never have guessed." In performance, he often makes a note in a notebook. (There's a certain amount of scholarly debate about whether he is completely sane.) N.B.: the situation in which he says this bears no relation to anything in the forum. You are correct that a modified image is no longer 'authentic,' but my point is that it's still a picture. I don't think "authenticity" applies anyway in photography. As you know, reality and an image of it are not the same. I take the question to mean, "If I load a photo into an electronic frame, is it still a photo?" The answer IMHO is "yes." But this has no bearing on whether the image is a pastiche, a collage, a modified photo etc. Same if the OP means, "If I print and mount a digitally-shot image, is it a photograph?" Stalin had another saying that would be cute if he hadn't used it as the basis for action: "No people, no problem." I don't think he placed a smiley after it, though he may have smiled. And that brings us back to the conclusion of the Hamlet quote: "Meet it is I set it down, that a man may smile and smile and be a villain." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jank Posted December 16, 2008 Share #10 Posted December 16, 2008 I n this very forum , do we present to each other protographs, or just a low quaiity digital copies, cheap replicas? Do we also critique it, do we also enjoy it? Do we consider it an art? Does then media matter? Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
