Over on Chase Jarvis' blog there is a debate raging about what "pure" photography is. Surf over and have a read through the comments about what constitutes a "real" photograph. Look for my comment and replies to it about 1/3 of the way down the page.
The debate goes to the heart of an age old question, what is real? Whose version of history is correct? Do I see the same blue as you see, my colour blind friend always reminds me that he can't tell which 'blue' thing is the nice one. Whose God or Dog is the best? Is Dog real?
Too often we get caught up in the questions and debate instead of getting to the action of creating. Getting things done is the important part of life. Not many of us are remembered for our philosophical slant on a particular hobby rather we are remembered for what we contributed to this world. So go out and test, experiment, push boundaries and create things.
