Time and again I see and hear photographers say something similar to “but how much is Photoshop”? I then think about how the previous masters of photography were often on the cutting edge of the technology of their day. Often developing new processes, experimenting with new techniques and I haven’t read where other photographers of the their day say but what about the old ways.
Today, I can create music, movies, drawings, photographs using handheld devices such as my smartphone or tablet. What a wonderful time to be a creative working in visual or audio arts. Using modern technology one is rarely without equipment or supplies to create.
At the same time I can still utilize the old ways and create using film, paints, or musical instruments. The possibilities are endless and getting better. Don’t discount technology and the creative mind.
