The First Photoshopped Photo.

OK, if you want the history… Now on the Internet there were already pictures, and sounds, used with other programs. As for the Web, it was created with pictures already inside it, apart from the millions that were already present on the Internet.

This is why nobody, not even Tim, knows which is the first picture, because simply there isn’t one.

The story originated by chinese whispers, probably stemming from an early version of the Cernettes website, where its webmaster, who was one of my students, posted the picture as “the first photo on the web” instead of “the first photo of a band on the web”, probably as a joke, to tease the band. It was a joke, comical, theatrical band, so… anything was allowed!

Well anyway, you have my blessing to “debunk a fake myth”, and if Sir Tim has a minute, he will confirm.

Best, Silvano

“Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years.”
