I'm doing a project in my Geometry class. My topic is "Transformation and Digital Photography". I have no idea what the two have in common. Can someone help me out and provide some online links that I can use as further reference?

digital photography has transformed a lot over the years... not entirely sure what that has to do with geometry - unless it is to do with the sensors and megapixels... you might want to start searching there...

Another relationship that comes to mind has to do with copyright law. Digital technology has made it much easier to copy and/or alter an image and use it in an impermissible way. A photograph is copyrighted the instant that the photons slam onto the light sensitive medium that records them and, since March 1, 1989, a copyright notice such as the little © and the photographer's name is no longer required to be displayed anywhere on the work. The creator of the image is the only one who has control over if, when, how or to whom the image may be shown or "published". This control extends to any alterations to the image, sometimes referred to as a "transformative work" in an effort to avoid a lawsuit for infringement of copyright. That defense hasn't held much water in federal district courts where copyright disputes are heard. For example, your Uncle Milton, the rabid patriot who holds a life membership in the John Birch Society may fail to see the humor when you transform his candid snapshot taken by Aunt Millie in which he is proudly wearing his American flag lapel pin after you have cleverly altered, Photoshop wizard that you are, into the flag of the Nazi Party.
