Are my photos Photoshopped?
Yes.

But what does Photoshopped mean exactly? Are they fake? No. But, every image I share will run through several digital applications with one end goal in mind: to replicate both what I saw and felt while standing in that location and clicking the camera shutter.

To attempt dumbing things down a bit, I shoot a file format on my camera called RAW that captures a simple, boring, flat, non-exciting photo, BUT contains digital data for every color and brightness on the light spectrum. More or less, anyway. This, as opposed to capturing a simple JPEG, allows me to adjust things in Photoshop to more represent the emotions and feelings that I felt while capturing an image. The movies and music I enjoy, design I love, my current mood. All of this goes into every photo I edit and I believe this is what makes photography special and unique.

Rarely will I add things to a scene that were not there in real life, but if the situation calls for it, I have done things like adding more fog if a small amount existed and I want to boost the feeling. I'll change the color of flowers if I feel the overall color balance needs adjusting. Some photographers take issue with this. That's fine - art is subjective. Do I have any concerns about this? No. Is it digital art? To me, the work I create is a photograph, but I do not get offended if you want to call it something else.

Why am I asking myself questions and answering them like that Seinfeld episode? I do not know.

I make art for myself and only myself. The idea that some people may like it and, even better, wish to hang it on their walls, is just a very cool bonus.

If anyone is curious about how I edited an image, just ask. I'm always thrilled to describe what went into a photo, but be forewarned that I'm super passionate about this stuff and a few hours later you may find your eyes glazed over and in desperate need of an espresso ?

So, here is what a photo looks like straight from the camera, my horrible scribblings of what I'm trying to represent, and the end result.

I captured this photo back in 2011 with a camera that has worse quality than today’s iPhones. This tells me two things: time flies…and that fretting over camera gear is a waste of brain space.  —
