A recent story by the BBC gives all photographers something to think about. They discuss in detail how manipulating an image can change the way the human memory recalls things. A quote from Rose Eveleth states, “Doctored images can affect what we eat, how we vote and even our childhood recollections. The question scientists are asking is why there’s nothing we can do to stop it”. Take a look at this well documented piece on image manipulation and add your voice to the discussion. I would love to hear what our readers think about making photos on a computer that weren’t really there in the first place.
BBC dicusses the issues with manipulated photos and how they are remembered by the human mind.
