As we relentlessly pursue the newest and greatest technologies we must remember that the golden rules of photography still apply. The concept of this exhibition is to present photographs which have been enhanced to the extent that traditional darkroom techniques would have allowed: (i.e. white balance, color, exposure, contrast, saturation, sharpening, dodge and burn, cropping and sizing and conversion to black & white or sepia) without substantially altering the original image. Simply stated: Using current tools to achieve what was previously achieved in the darkroom… but no more.
“I do not object to retouching, dodging or accentuation as long as they do not interfere with the natural qualities of photographic technique.” Alfred Stieglitz
