[Grovenet] Fwd: Oh NO, not Flat Fatima!

[allnutt]

I disagree.  He was making  a very good point.
There has been some discussion here about staged photos (the flag at Iwo 
Jima).
Similarly, some photos are better when items that don't belong are added as 
well.
A good example is when a penny is photographed next to something small. The 
penny and the item are usually totally unrelated but it gives perspective.
A clean teddy bear or Mickey/Minnie Mouse in a pile of dirty rubble may be 
used for comparison purposes as well. I doubt that people who see a clean 
toy in the middle of muck really believe it was found that way.  War is hell 
and toys for comparison are not the same kind of doctoring that gets 
photographers fired.

Are you trying to explain to me why it  is okay to make something up when 
your name Is Rove?  ; )
