Sonny, I am not saying it has never been done, as Tina pointed out at the start of this Gene Smith did this kind of thing a lot. The thing now is that because of the ease with which photos can be changed, and the common perception that photos are all retouched, the emphasis now is even stronger on no retouching. I did not mean to imply that this is something new, just that people now are far more sensitive to this type of thing now than they used to be. As far as making the dead look alive...watch the movie Under Fire. That movie fits right into this discussion. :) BTW I was in Smyrna last night, a friend I grew up with passed away this past week. The town has changed so much you'd be lost there...it aint no small town any more. -- Harrison McClary Harrison McClary Photography harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net ImageStockSouth - Stock Photography http://www.imagestocksouth.com Tobacco Road: Personal Blog: http://www.mcclary.net/blog
