Let's see, from the times of everyone knowing or should I say from the times when cameras came out..we've all known about photography and how it has influenced the people around us and who takes it them. Its a form of art, it involves the golden ratio, and people go to school to learn about how to take a good, well done photograph. But have you ever met the people that upload picnik.com and turn the picture black and white and call that a work of art? Yeah, we all have seen it.
As an example, someone takes a picture of a lawn mower and turn is sepia and call them selves deep, who cares? Really, honestly who cares? What makes you expirence the art. I don't even know about it because I haven't been schooled about it. Have they? Had the 12 year old on Facebook know about it? They took a picture and decided to make it "cool" so they upload it onto any different website and change the color temperature and scheme and call it art.
Not only going on in the tween world, but also probably in the adult. How many photographers take a picture and put it onto their photoshop and make it completly different? Magazine do it, billboards, everyone. Everyone pretty much want to live in a fake world.
Maybe this is the new thing to do? Maybe no one cares about being real anymore, having flaws. It is a bit obvious that a person that has flaws is perfect, and a person that is perfect has flaws. So whats is the point of showing people that you aren't? Why not just be who you want to be without getting judged?
So maybe they will grow up and be very famouse and something speacial, but starting at picnik.com is probably not the best thing ever, maybe just not take full credit on taking a picture and turning it to a black and white photo make u speacial? no.
