Picture Perfect?

 All this hype about the royals fixing bits of pictures is ridiculous. And it is mainly yapped by photographers who ALL fiddle around with their photography as part of their normal activity. I have seen photos of a certain woman in the beauty business who is idolized by viewers in THE fashion magazine, famous for its photos, and all of them are air brushed or enhanced, shall we say, to make the individual's waistline only slighty bigger than her neck measurement. The efforts are clearly and visibly done, and no one really cares. There aren't many pretty people who daily post their selfies to the world at large, and then proceed to count how many times someone looks at the fakery. They agonize over how many check marks they get. How silly and silly be? What is the big fuss? While the world "burns" Neroists fiddle over such tripe. When a portrait of a famous person is painted it's all, or was, all fakery. It's called artistic freedom. What is the difference in taking pictures with a camera, rather than painting in oils a portrait, when cameras are specifically made for artistic manipulation freedoms. From all of the articles I have seen about the royal edits of photos they take, and send off to the gnashing press, there is nothing that should upset anyone. A line in a couch? A patch of dark behind an ear? A bit of tartan not matched? A zipper closure not done  up? How petty can the press, they who do this all the time themselves, never mind the one or two purists in the group who don't (if there truly are such)? Just another gossip hungry "wall" of clickers slavering for something to write about, thinking there is nothing more important than picking apart a world that is pretty much ripped apart as it is. It is a well known fact that the media engages in "artistic freedom" incessantly, without caring whom it destroys because they deem it their professional right. They speak of not being able to trust the royalty any longer since a couple of tiny edits were done to a picture of the royals' photo backgrounds, not to their faces or bodies as is blatently common all the time by everyone else, but to the backgrounds or insignificant bits of their pictures. The royals are not doing the wrong, but who is?  Puuhleese!
