So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

Plus I have always loved digital image manipulation. I majored in art in college, specifically photography, but because it was the mid-late 90s, the only class we got was on Photoshop 2. And the instructor was trying to teach it out of the manual he had clearly never read, so I wound up teaching much of the class I paid to take. Very disappointing. Although it did lead to the very epic argument with my advisor about what is photography. She and I didn't see eye to eye on any of it.
I was more a photojournalism/human experience sort of person, and she was one of those who hand-colored her B&W prints of small children sharing toys and shit. She had the nerve to tell me that if a photo was edited on a computer, it was no longer real. But oh, perfectly ok for her to pastel paint a fake life. Needless to say, I had a new advisor the next day.

If I can do the exact same thing in the photo lab (like solarization, etc) its still photography. It changes to digital art when I manipulate the actual scene, layout, or make a change I could not make in a lab.
