Oh, if only we lived in a photoshopped world.

I have a sincere appreciation for Photoshop. Long before I got married I knew very well just what a wonderful program it was, but it really saved the day for my wedding pictures. I don't mean to suggest I had a bad photographer -- on the contrary she was great and I loved the job that she did. The problem was me. I was enormously bothered by the amount of zits that had popped up all over my face prior to the wedding, and despite all of my efforts, refused to go away. However, the good news is that most will never have to view the real me from my wedding day thanks to my dear, dear Photoshop. It's true, I spent countless hours painstakingly going through each wedding picture fixing everything. I have no qualms about changing the "reality" of a picture to the reality I wish it had been.

And here's a particular favorite...

Could I look any more ridiculous? (okay, that's debatable...) But the point is, it's nothing that a little dash of Photoshop can't fix.

Wah-lah. With a new set of eyes, the picture is presentable. 

Bless you, Photoshop.
