Is Photography Dead?

"Film photography's artistic cachet was always that no matter how much darkroom fiddling someone added to a photograph, the picture was, at its core, a record of something real that occurred in front of the camera."

GIMP

Gimp.org has free photo editing software that is quite excellent. If you're looking for an alternative to Photoshop because you don't want to shell out the cash, GIMP is definitely a good way to go. It seems to have all of the primary functions and it even opens .psd files. You should check it out.

Richard Prince

This is pretty ridiculous. Richard Prince takes pictures of other people's pictures, enlarges them, and then sells them for absurd amounts of money. Why would you pay over $1 million for an unoriginal work? If you just don't know it's unoriginal, wouldn't you think you'd do some research before you spent that much money? I don't get this. How can this be legal?
