I really enjoy looking at the older photoshopped pictures because it is easier to have an appreciation for the focus and hard work that went into it. The process people had to go through to get a single picture is immense and very dangerous. Jerry Uelsmann is just one of the greats and has been doing this for so long that his work has become well-known for his dark room photos. Photoshop techniques have changed dramatically over the many years going back to the 1800’s. Now we are making a couple of clicks on a computer system instead of using techniques that normally would take 30 minutes in the dark room. His drive for the old fashioned ways is inspiring because there are always fewer and fewer people passing on the talents of how things used to be. I appreciate that technology is creating faster and less stress worthy programs for photoshop. Back then if someone were to mess up their picture, the picture would be ruined and they would have to start over till it’s right. Dark rooms are what shaped the world of photoshop and what bore the new age of photoshop programs.
The hardest words that I came across was “Quitjote” and “Yvess” because of the type of font and the spacing we had to utilize between the first and last letter. I thought it was a fun little quiz and really tested your eyes.
