In addition, many regions of the country are having trouble getting sufficient supplies of ethanol, which is used in new formulas for gas.

Some of the people who are now manipulating photos, such as Andreas Gursky, make the argument - rightly - that the straight photographs of the 1940s and 50s were no such thing.

Even the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson, with all due respect to him, are notoriously burned and dodged.
