Yesterday I bought a new sketch book that had black paper instead of white. The idea was to try and work with white and yellow rather than the usual shades of grey of graphite. This is o e of the first images I produced. I then thought it might be an idea to process this further using Brushes and Photoshop on the iPad - the I age first being captured by my iPhone. So the question is this - just what exactly have I produced? Is it a photograph or drawing or neither or both? I know this is far from an original question but the availability of more and more powerful digital manipulative technology so easily available, note that no PC, Mac or Laptop was used in the production, that we are now reaching a point of maturity in the application of technology that none of the o.d rules apply at all. The image has made subtle changes as a result of the different technologies applied along the way. Oh it was so much more clear cut 10 or so years ago when film was still king. A drawing was a drawing and a photograph of the drawing was just that rather than taking a life of it's own. Simpler times?
