A good discussion about the revolution of technology in Photography and the ethical implications for photojournalists, and maybe others. With the use of Hipstamatic and Instagram the manipulations are now done in camera(phone). Quote:
...there is a revolution going on all around us and the very nature of photography is changing. “Computation photography” (the use of the computer to process photos, using all the bells and whistles the computer offers) is replacing the “Decisive Moment” as the central imperative of our profession. We have always had a battle between those who thought a documentary photo is supposed to be exactly what the camera recorded and those who thought the “Truth” of the photo was more important than a strict adherence to what the camera captured.
