I recall an interview many years ago with Ansel Adams. I don't recall the exact words of either the question or the answer, but the thrust was about people who would take his images and change them into something else - add colours, manipulate, mix with other things et cetera. He was asked if it bothered him.

His reply was that it didn't. He had created an image based on how his mind thought something should be seen. If someone else "saw" it differently and took it a different direction, it was the natural order of creativity.

There's a lot of art, music, architecture, technology et cetera that simply wouldn't exist if it wasn't for people who think that way. Separate from its output, the creative process itself is an amazing thing to behold.
