I have a friend who is getting into photography but thinks real photographers don't need to edit their pictures. How would you explain the importance for editing in regards to photography?
Has your friend ever seen people at work in a darkroom? A lot of the editing in Photoshop is very similar to what people did in the darkroom - adjusting for exposure, color, dodging, burning, the like, it's just that it's all digital and thus can be greatly manipulated. Even if you get everything right in the camera, photography remains a medium of expression, and that means that people can push it and interpret whichever they like, it doesn't make those who edit any less a photographer than those who do not. Editing is like developing a style, much like the distinguishing stroke of a painter's brush or the way a painter sees color. Your friend sounds like they want to be more photojournalistic, which is completely fine (although I've known of many an instance where photojournalists have edited their photographs), they just have to deliver photographs that they truly feel represents what their clients want.

If you were to make your own flavor of awesomesauce what would it be and what would you call it?
Right now my awesomesauce tastes of bitterness and is called "FOADIAF" (Fuck Off And Die In A Fire), but ask again tomorrow. *snort* ;)

What accent (foreign or in your own country) do you think is the sexiest?
Oh by far a English Accent, it is hard to pick a favorite but I do like the London accent quite a bit ♥

What was your most embarrassing moment?
I honestly have no idea. Nothing really stands out. Maybe that time I threw up at school? It certainly set me up for a lifetime of going to extreme lengths to never throw up in public again.

What's something people are always surprised to learn about you?
Most often, my taste in music (actually, I get comments on my taste in lots of things). I think even people who've known me for a while are a little surprised when they find out that I'm a sucker for a lot of love songs (ie. Otis Redding - These Arms of Mine, Johnny Cash - He Stopped Loving Her Today, Flogging Molly - Death Valley Queen, etc.).
Also, that I'm a movie crier. I actually had a friend who would take me to sad movies just because he thought it was funny that I'd cry. That's totally a family thing tho. My mom and my grandma are the same way (hell, my grandma cries at hallmark cards...). -
