What's Real

Around the year 2000 digital photography swept over the world of auto racing. Racing photography is photo journalism. The ability to forget about developing film and printing photos, and then being able to email your images to your publisher instead of dropping them off or mailing them, was really seductive. It made sense. We all have long-learned that with the use of Photo Shop and other software programs, severe alterations can be made. The image below was made by me around 2005. Both pictures are the same photo, only with color changes made by me in Photo Shop. Which is real and which is Memorex…..so to speak?
