Manipulating Reality - Say Yes!

Just read the Alain Briot essay on Luminous Landscape about the issue of answering the question 'is it real or is it manipulated?'. I had previously discussed my dealing with this question and I find Alain's solution makes perfect sense. I too tried 'explaining' and absolutely, it's a slippery slope down which you don't want to be going. His solution to simply and proudly say Yes!, I do manipulate the colours makes perfect sense to me. Besides, these were never customers in the first place - if you define customer as someone who has even a remote chance of buying a print.

Well said, Alain.
