This picture is odd and grotesque. It makes me cry :`)

I’m not sure how much Gursky edits his photos digitally, looking at them – both online and the works on display at the Tate Modern in London – it looks like the colours have been enhanced (saturation, contrast etc increased); i dont think he actually changes the subject of his work on computer but i couldn’t be sure either way.

Hmmm… I’m not familiar with Gursky — are the photos in the MoMA link digitally manipulated? To what end does he alter his photographs?

The pic’ you’ve posted there brought the work of Andreas Gursky to mind, then when i looked around on google it appears that Burtynsky’s work is – at least in part – a deliberate dig at Gursky’s (or at least, his like) digitally manipulated work.
