One of these things is not like the other..

At one point in my life I was very opposed to manipulating photographs. Somewhere along the way I became enthralled with the world of Fine Art, particularly Fine Art Photography. I discovered the simple fact that artist can do whatever they want, and call it what they want. I sought out a college, and after years of mental labor became an academically approved artist. Reluctantly, I now regularly "destroy"  parts of my original image in order to clearly define my original vision for a photograph. Thus, my intent is to create art.   

What does this have to do with skateboarding? 

I posted the wrong image the other day, and feel like you now know my dirty little secret.
