Young butcher, Lancaster Indoor Market

I took this photo back on July 30th, on the same day I shot photos in the tattoo parlour and the fishmongers. Unfortunately, I've lost my notes from that day so forget this young butcher's name. But he works in J. Wilsons in Lancaster Market, and he is good at his job. I've posterised him in photoshop - hope he doesn't mind...

    Very cool picture! I just bought Photoshop Elements 7 and now I must learn how to use it. It didn't come with a manual, so now I've ordered that, too.

    Mm ... not sure I like the effect, Eamon. Tell you why: quite an individual response to me, I suppose.

    When I take photos of people out and about doing their whatevers, I try to show them as they are and I try to do it with warmth and regard. Basically, to give them my respect. Whereas, if I fiddle with the shot I am forming the image for my own gratification. Does that make sense? However, having said that, I do convert to monotone if the portrait responds to that treatment. Maybe that is hypocritical ... have to ponder ont!

    Glad to hear it Julie, and, in fact, I agree with you entirely. And converting to monochrome isn't fiddling with the basic image, so I don't think you are being hypocritical in that regard at all.

    I was in two minds about doing anything with this photo and only 'played' with it for my own gratification, as you rightly understand. I think I'll take your advice and replace it with the original now :)

    EDIT to above post: Having just gone back to my photo gallery, I realise that I can't replace the image as it's the only one I have. I usually take photos in RAW and JPEG but that day only took JPEGS. Unfortunately, I therefore modified the single original image! Damn - feeling bad about that now and wondering whether I should delete it. You voicing your concerns has also raised what was already the spark of an ethical dilemma for me anyway...

    No need to replace or remove at all I think. The conversation is sufficient, I reckon.

    It is interesting the things that concern, isn't it?
