Words of Elliott Erwitt
"Digital manipulation kills photography, it is enemy number one"
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something
interesting in an ordinary place...I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the
way you see them.”
With companies like Creative Commons, Flickr, Photoshop, Picnik and many more aiding and distributing photography, media is becoming an integral
part of the business.
