Response to I like it, the subject doesn't

I will pick up on Tony's comment:

I have a video of Imogen Cunningham in which she says the "problem" with portrait photography is that most people don't like themselves.

Edward Weston put a big sign in his studio window in Carmel California stating: "Unretouched Portraits." He grew very tired of trying to make a living making old ladies look like young babes (my paraphrase!)

Does that tell you something?
