I believe that a photograph is a picture that captures one's attention and allows their mind to think beyond that one picture and onto a larger topic. I believe pictures can pose questions and answer others.   For an example, one picture could ask the question, "Why is this child hurting?". Through a question, this causes the audience to wonder about the bigger picture and create answers of their own.  Another picture could hold the answer "The child is hurting because he is starving." This straight forward statements allows the audience to pay more attention to the reality of the situation and the emotions that can exist with that reality.  As for photoshop, I believe that it can make or break a picture depending on your goal.  I believe photoshop will be exceptional if you have a science fiction or space related topic.  However I believe photoshop should not be used to edit, but not alter, someone's physically body structure.  This alone, I believe, creates issues in this world in which people think this type of computer generated image is reality.
