Just a thought 
  - should images that have no connection 
to reality be shown in our 
  photography gallery?

I'll send another (real) photo for next week shortly to 
    replace the totally
computer generated graphic I've just sent, even 
    though the model I "created"
has been described as "gorgeous" by my 
    friends.

ANDY,

Thanks for asking 
  for the opinions of all members as to what should be included on the P. F. 
  Photo Gallery!  Most websites are not so democratic.

REALITY in 
  photographs has never been a problem for me --  as the first time I ever 
  picked up a camera I wanted to show others what they could not see for 
  themselves.

Angles, filters, perspective, lighting, cropping, darkroom 
  tricks and outright physical retouching have been as interesting as the actual 
  photographic scene.

Is a light that flashes at 1/10,000 of a second 
  real?  YES!  All of Our inventions to expand the mind to actually 
  see the dreams and ambitions We have envisioned were Real the moment they were 
  conceived  (oops - sorry, i will try to calm down).

These digital 
  computer generated images do not offend me -- esp when they are done to look 
  like a photograph.  They are a valuable learning tool that can be used to 
  make the - Photographic Vision More Real! 

This technical advancement 
  debate will become as passe as >film Vs Digital< because our kids will 
  be watching images with this  (- - - blah -- blah  -- blah  - - 
  - ) !!

I would not want to see this kind of computer graphic desist 
  from the Forum and I appreciate any insight to new mediums that I have not yet 
  learned about.  I think I have learned -something- from almost all of the 
  images posted on the P. F. Gallery.
