Re: Some people are just crazy

Totally agree with John about need of context. It scares me is how people are willing to ignore the context given by the photographer, and replace it with one that resides in their warped minds. I think it is a good photo. I like the way it conveys the child's exhaustion, and the way it

Thank you, Christine! I have occasionally done images/prints without the classic paper surround. For that, I think it's a matter of what I'm trying to achieve with the photos. As with most things photographic and art, no one aesthetics is right for all purposes... :-) G > On May 21, 2016,

Maybe, maybe not. I'd have to go into the other room and open Photoshop to find out for sure. I remember (pretty sure I remember) that in a PS Contrast adjustment layer there are two sliders - Contrast & Brightness. AFAIK, Gamma is a slider in a different kind of adjustment layer. On
