back in the day, remix

This is a picture of a band I participated in back in the day with some buddies from home. I took off some heads and remixed it with some tennis kids and another photo of myself.

I'd like to call this my "fav" the way the flowers standing out against the metallic dull finish of my coat in the background is appealing to me. Photoshop.

Altercations made on an image with meaning(lacking the meaning)
Other than the fact that grapes do indeed watch us...

Response

Touching up photos in magazines and everyday advertisements has become a part of the industry. As a part of the industry it also gives job offers. I see it as a growing and purposeful part of advertising and the fashion industry. No one can look superhuman on a regular basis, and to think of these in page models looking that fine on a regular basis would be rather ridiculous.
Altering images to a more extensive point gets iffy. When you alter someone so much that it doesn't even look like them(aka longer legs, no uni-brow, stuff of that nature).

Henry Mercer

Henry Mercer, an artifact collector, or better yet, a genuine trash collector. Previously educated at Harvard Law School and another prestigious law school, Henry later exited the law career to further his interests in ancient American artifacts. With his mind screaming towards the era of industrialization, believing it was corrupting and destroying the valuable dying culture left in ancient artifacts and pottery.

Employed at the University of Philadelphia Museum, Henry Mercer was appointed the position of the Curator of American and Prehistoric Archeology. Becoming more involved with the position lined up for her, he believed the industrialization of America was destroying everything ancient and unique about the country, furthering his search for American artifacts lost in a accelerating society.

A celebrated tile-maker, Henry Mercer's most extensive collection of tile mosaics is located in the Pennsylvania state capital building in Harrisburg. A series of 400 tile-mosaics line the floor
in the building, creating a time line covering the extensive history of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and other important occasions stranded in the shallows of our fast-paced history.

The Henry Mercer Museum located in our own Philadelphia contains a collection of more than 50,000 tools and artifacts. I'll make sure to round up some students for an educational trip one day.
