I recently purchased my first DSLR, the Canon Rebel XTi. It's a great camera, whose features and capabilities still surprise me six months and around ten thousand images after I purchased it. I've been shooting for local bands a little bit, and I'm inserting a little of my own touches into my next shoot, having the band dress in a James Dean-esque fashion.
Personally, I see Photoshop as a medium for art, that is to say, original ideas and concepts. For me, photography is chronicling, a medium to explore and record the world and people around me. If there is any art to it, it is in the finding of angles and compositions that will make people see things as they never have before. Photoshop creates farces. Photography can show the world as it is, how it should be, and how you the photographer would like it to be.
If I ever touch up my photos at all, it is only to sharpen them.
