I won't question the validity of your photos or ted's or tina's or a huge number of LUGgers. There are many photographers who have damaged or destroyed the credibility of their images through digital manipulation but it was mostly because they didn't acknowledge the computer manipulations. Jerry Ulesman's photos are clearly manipulations but having done the manipulations the hard way - under the enlarger - doesn't make them any less manipulations. It's the photographer who can or can't be trusted to make honest images, not the tool.
