Description
My words are easy to understandAnd my actions are easy to perform
Yet no other can understand or perform them.
My words have meaning; my actions have reason;
Yet these cannot be known and I cannot be known.
We are each unique, and therefore valuable;
Though the wise wears coarse clothes, his heart is jade.
The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu

Anyway, it's cool how you can see the clock through the broken hole of the other!

That's exactly what he did, and that makes it photo manipulation: Combination of elements from several different frames.

Not necessarily. Could just be a really fucking awesome long exposure shot.
Then again, I'm no photography guru.

Ah, now I see how it'd be possible with an exposure time of several minutes. Only in that case the clouds in the sky would be all blurred.
I spotted other examples in which there were mirrored elements. I guess *ahermin has a penchant for passing off cunning photoshop work as genuine photography.

well I guess you are kinda right.
but its not like it changed the whole concept of photography S:
he didn't add things that are not there or not suppose to.
I mean its not like he changed the concept of reallity as most of photo manipulations do..
but you are right in the bottom line.

He added things. Period. That makes it manipulation. Yes, it still looks like a photo - and that makes it even more dishonest, trying to pass this manipulation off as photography.
I used to admire *ahermin 's photos a lot. But now I'm wondering with every submissions if it's honestly photography.
Nothing against photo manipulation - it still takes creativity and mad skills to come up with realistic looking images. But dishonesty peeves me.

I understand, even though I still enjoy those images... so I really don't care. but mmm I guess you are right he should change the tittling
