Blog Question 2

Ethics, to me, means what I believe is good and bad. It is my moral values and what I think the difference between right and wrong is. Aesthetics, to me, means what looks good and makes me happy. It is what I think looks correct. I think that it is okay to digitally manipulate a photo if you have the persons permission. If it is someone like a model it is both aesthetically and ethically correct to manipulate them. But if you don't have their permission it is not ethically correct. For example I don't think they should change photos of places or news stories. Especially pictures of war and crime. I think that these photos should not be manipulated because then they are no longer telling the truth to people.
