From Clay Eno's blog: What would Jesus Retouch?
Clever dude -- he is the person that originally got me thinking about the amount of non-darkroom type of processing I did to the photos: too much. I've turned that corner I feel a lot of new photographers encounter while trying to get that polished look hundreds of hours at a Watcom tablet do to the imagery that surrounds us. If you look at Clay's portraits you see human skin and it is beautiful. I'm a big fan of that now. Also, I recently read on Soth's blog that he did not have any big philosophical opposition to retouching. Fair enough, but I should have de-lurked and pressed him to expound on that (btw, he has, as usual, amazing work in the April issue of W). Maybe some other time.
