to illustrate my point about cg and photography merging here's an example of some vector wire frame art -
NOT a photograph

get the picture yet?
I will say i agree with you in this manner dynamike - americans as a whole are getting lazy and not caring for them selves. I see it daily. I'm sure we all do.
If a public appearance is not needed - anyone can be a model to any standard with a good MUA and/or good CG skills. I have photographed Models that look absolutly nothing like their photos or photo's others have taken of them on public appearances.
Your needs as a photographer and mine as a photoartist as far as standards go - are completly different to a degree - and i stand by my standards - won't sacrafice them for anyone. Nor my priciples.
One can photograph a model
- as they truly are with a good MUA - straight
- with added CG to fine tune looks etc
- or now as the above image shows -
- one can create the perfect woman and add her to any background one chooses - including - on a Motorcycle or a Beach.
lol - funny thought - models and photogs MUA's argue so much about price- TFP/CD - won't work with this person or do that and this and that
- ten years from now where are you all going to be?
- will it just be CG artists and their created rendered models?
something to think about - what will anyones standards mean then...?
Sorry dynamike - didn't mean to jump in so quick again
- chase -
