pictures to prove it™

“Have you seen a truly awful piece of Photoshop work? Clumsy manipulation, senseless comping, lazy cloning and thoughtless retouching are our bread and butter. And yes, deep down, we love Photoshop.”

this site has been around for awhile, but only recently has it become one of my fav resources. there are so many goodies tucked away on this site. it’ll make you giggle and it’ll make you look at photos a little more closely.

not that i want to pick on Annie Liebowitz (cause it seems every magazine i stumble onto has some comment on her financial woes) but this photo of husband and wife Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet boggles me. with so many eyes on the production through publication of this, how did THIS happen?

i love the photo, or the concept of the photo. maybe she didnt sleep enough. that is usually my problem. i think she needs a week of RnR or maybe a solid spa day. im sure she has had a lot on her mind, but are the editors that work with her so in awe of her that they would let this pass? did they praise it?

curious eh? you can see some video of the shoot HERE. it’s funny that it isnt really a composite because they weren’t together, someone had just decided that they didn’t like him in a jacket i guess. she is famous for convincing people to take their clothes off in her photo shoots. maybe now she just tries to do it in photoshop.

HERE you can see how Vanity Fair ran it online.

the geniuses at WiebeTech have done it again!!! these guys make great products and any issue ive had, they’ve solved. so easy to deal with. but now i’ve got a a new reason to love these guys, their innovation. this is the Ultraduck. you can expect a full review from me soon.

By now it’s safe to bet that most of the world has seen artist Shepard Fairey’s “Hope” poster of President-elect Barack Obama, but did you ever wonder who the photographer is whose picture was the basis of the artist’s work?

Also, isn’t it a bit strange that up until now no one’s even asked?

Well…
