I have had such an itchy shutter finger lately, but haven't been able to come up with any ideas of what to shoot. Here's a fine example of my grasping. My crochet hooks in a jar, post-processed using Photoshop to give it a vintage feel. I like it.
And I know it seems like I'm being hypocritical about post-processing, but really I'm not. When I said that photography should be about reality and not about post-processing, I was mainly referring to portraits, not my art. I'm talking images of people that are Photoshopped to the point where the person is completely unrecognizable anymore. Fake skin, fake backgrounds, and overall fake image - what's the point? Aren't portraits supposed to be about the person and their character, flaws and all? I mean, blemishes are one thing, but who on Earth has a completely perfect, wrinkle/bump/scar-free complexion? You definitely won't find that here. I strive to capture personality, not perfection.
Real life. Not post-processing. That's what photography should be about.
