Fixed Photos

Well, that website was a HUGE confidence booster!!! After looking at those altered pics of celebrities, I feel a heck of a lot better about myself and the way I look in pics! hahaha That guy fixed anything and everything. The perfect hair, perfect skin, perfect boobs, perfect butts...they're not perfect at all!!! According to those photos, they are either fake, or photo-shopped! He made some of those girls go from crack head to super model (well, maybe not QUITE that severely, but you get the point). For me, the only truth in those photographs was how TRULY talented that guy is hahaha.

However, I don't know that I would say that about all photographs. Like a few other people have said, what about a candid shot, taken at a party or out in public? I don't think that those pictures are "lying", especially if they haven't been altered. While they may not give a full, perfect depiction of the situation or the person being captured on camera, I generally think that whatever they are showing is truthful, at least some degree.
