A great quote from that article: "I hear the word manipulation forming on someone's lips. Yes, you're right, converting a digital file to monochrome in Photoshop is manipulation, but photography is manipulation from beginning to end. Your choice of lens is manipulation; so is the way you frame, the shutter speed and aperture at which you shoot, your selection of Fuji or Kodak color film if film is what you're shooting, which frame you select from the contact sheet, or even whether you print your selection on matte or glossy paper. How many times have you waited until "golden hour" before shooting a landscape? Isn't that manipulation? The reality is that "real life" doesn't look like a photograph, which of course is one of the reasons that we take photographs in the first place."
I think I was making this argument recently.
