Mike Johnston’s monthly Sunday Morning Photographer column looks at the thorny issue of truth in photography:

“I’m a fundamentalist when it comes to truth in photographs. I think all pictures ought to be as true as possible, and that the only excuse for manipulation, beyond “fixing” the photograph technically, are changes meant to make it subjectively more truthful to the photographer’s perception of the subject. Changes for the sake of fit, “illustration,” decoration, or eye appeal make pictures not better photographs, but merely less photographic.”
