The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.

Not really news..
As some of you know, I have a long-time feud with photo-manipulator, =jazzylemonade. The other day, I was surprised to notice that I was nominated for *TheDeviantAwards 'Best Photojournalist' along side ^estudio and some others. Oddly enough, Jazzy appears with us.
However, only a small percentage of her massive gallery of manipulations actually belong in Photojournalism. Now, I have told her thousands of times, and I firmly believe, that abusing photoshop to 'enhance' an image is NOT wrong, but in the case of photojournalism, I think it is..
Her argument?
There is no musicians category anywhere else.
She has whined to a handful of gallery moderators/directors, and administration alike, and it seems that the jury is out, as she continues to miscategorize, day after day.
She has a large following, mostly fans of the emo-brit-bands she photographs, and at one point she sent them after me, and I dare her to to it again, I will beat them back like I did last time.
What I am asking, is for anyone who reads this, and agrees that her work does not fit in the journalism genre, to note *TheDeviantAwards the following:
- I firmly believe that =jazzylemonade should be removed from the photojournalist category, for failure to adhere to not only the deviantART submission guidelines, but also to the ethics of 'real' photojournalism. Signed, -<name>
It's not that I think I should win, my good friend ^estudio deserves that, but I know that miss lemonade definitely shouldn't. If you care about photography, don't let this odd odd woman win a meaningless award.
I'm off to do some journalisting. Later!
Cheers, from a cloudy Vancouver

Horribly intrusive watermarks are tacky. If you're concerned about people stealing your photos, don't post them on the internet.
Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)
