Retouching

So this blog is partially about our fitness goals and partially about my photography efforts and learning. Part of that is retouching. So here is the picture of Bry from this month's fitness picture "retouched" (and more.) :)


Retouching is an interesting thing, ethically speaking, and it's at odds with the idea of posting a record of our achievements for physical fitness. That's partially why I so carefully point out that the progress pics have not been retouched. Certainly, retouching has it's place...and I don't think most people would have a problem with the idea of removing minor blemishes from a portrait.
Anyhow, the retouching interests me as much as the photography and is an art form in and of itself from a certain point of view.
