Notting Hill

I have always found it interesting how just a few quick changes to a photograph can sway a viewer’s beliefs to mirror those of the editor. It is so simple to do with present technology, but exactly how moral is it? Although the opinions we form are up to our own discretion, edits often lead our minds in the wrong direction. Some people do not even question what they are being "fed," which is how so many become judgmental and easy to stereotype others. The pictures just assist in confirming myths about today's society. I wonder if photo editors ever have regrets about what they do?
