The Art of Doctoring
We’ll start today’s show off with a look at the long history of doctoring photos--the technology existed well before digital cameras and software programs were invented. Then, we’ll talk to two of the driving forces behind the hit Off-Broadway musical [title of show]. Later on, Scott Smith describes his new thriller, The Ruins. And we’ll learn about “boutique” doctors who offer round-the-clock care for a yearly retainer.
Photo Doctoring
Modern technology--like digital cameras and sophisticated editing software--makes it relatively easy to alter photos. But the art of doctoring images is nothing new. On today’s show, Willis Hartshorn, director of the International Center for Photography, and Robin Kelsey, professor of art and architecture at Harvard University, look at the long history of manipulating photographs.
