Grade School Photo Retouching Front Page Material

Perhaps it is because it's a Saturday and everybody is sick and tired of bad news already.

This front page article talks about how modern photography can easily manipulate image, at a price and at the request of the parents.  It goes on to discuss should we or should we not do it just because we can and how it might affect the child's self esteem or some crap like that.  Personally I have never requested any retouching (or implanted false memories) because my kids are just perfect the way they are, period.  No, actually we have way bigger problems than that.  Because often times, the pictures came back blurry and totally out of focus.  What horror.  How the photographer, if he can call himself one, manages to take an out of focus picture in a studio kind of setting is beyond me.  I am ecstatic when the picture is actually in focus, forget about retouching.
