I’ll never forget what one of my friends said, while attempting to construct a reverse pyramid of 9 stacked stools, using only one yard of masking tape. As we braced the structure from opposite ends, he shouted “Let go and let’s see what happens!” Now, I wouldn’t say that I’m risk averse, but part of your job as a retoucher is to seek out, and eradicate anything that draws attention away from the subject of the image. On the other hand, sometimes you’ll want to create a noisy design. You can simply redirect your obsessive tendencies towards the attractive scattering of visual trash. What fun indeed!
