yes thats what I am referring to .. I think she makes ink jets.. I would love to see them as pigment prints.

I wonder if surrealism can be produced 100% optically without involving digital manipulation.

Uelsmann's prints are more seamless than the Fauxtoshoppers' versions. Hides his hand better, and
more continuous tones. Then there's the other traditional way of doing it - comp prints touched up
then rephotographed - better suited to mass production, but sacrifices a bit of that subtle tonality(e.g., Thomas Barbey). It was all not only done before Fauxtoshop, but often done better.

Thanks. I checked them both and personally prefer man ray.

I found his interview with Shutterbug here :

Jerry said he receives comments like : "It's very, very interesting, but it's not photography."

Reminds me of the modern surrealist, some people say they are graphic or digital artists and some say they are photographers.
