The point is that we're living in a world where the truth is more blurred than ever, and we're used to it. And, Susannah Frankel says, we're guilty of it:
"We may not, like Elizabeth Hurley, go to the trouble of using Photoshop to tidy up our holiday snaps. But which of us is not guilty of editing them, of casting aside the pictures showing extra chins, blotchy skin and wobbly bits? Of making sure that only the loveliest, happiest, glossiest versions of reality are left behind for posterity?"
If we're so interested in the truth, why don't we start with ourselves?
Something for us to think about.
I want to work towards finding the beauty in things that are real.

not that this has a lot to do with the actual point of your post, but as a(n amateur) photographer, I personally believe that what the lens captures should not be altered. Essentially, if I can do it with film in a dark room (crop, push process, adjust dark/light levels, burn/dodge, etc) then I'll do it with the GIMP. Otherwise, I say I should have taken a better picture to begin with.
Learn to set up your shots properly, photoshoppers!
