Digital Imagery

1. How do digital images play a role in your day-to-day life? 

Digital images do play a role in my day to day life, there literally everywhere every ad every logo we see are digital images

2. In your personal life? 

Again every ad, everything thing i buy from the supermarket has a digital image on it.

3. In the way you experience your world? 

It definitely plays a role in how  i experience the world, 20 years ago things were extremely different without the use of anything digital! We become so accustomed to it that most of us probably don't realize how much digital imagery were subjected to. 

4. What are your thoughts on ethics and aesthetics as it relates to photojournalism and digital imagery manipulation? 

I find it almost scary how advanced technology has gotten. A decade ago if a picture was in the newspaper no would have thought anything other then it being proof taken in time. But now that changes so much, you cant really trust what we see, Photos aren't even being used as evidence anymore because we cant prove it hasn't been edited in some way or form

5. What are your thoughts on these example of these manipulated images ?

It really is mind blowing how much things have changed, and how easy it is change the past. The one thing that stuck with me was the picture of the court room. Then the next picture was the same court room without Hilary Clinton in it. Its unbelievable how easy it is to make someone disappear. Its almost scary in a way, that we cant always believe what we see.

6. Out of all the examples, which one do you believe has the most impact? Why?

I think the flag raising. Something like that could completely re-write history. How do we know our future youth wont be taught things that weren't true about history because of the images and stories that could be made up.
