Photos That Lie

The pictures that stood out to me where the Osama bin Laden dead picture and the Lib Dems stage "fake pc" photos. They stood out because in the Osama picture tried to make the news a lie when it said that they believe he is to be dead in a bombing where the body is partially identified, and the Lib Dems fake photo stood out on stinkyjournalism because made me wonder if all actors are just in the camera with no emotion to get all photoshoped. I don't think to make people look perfect is great for the society of magizines and actors because if you ever meet them later on you could tell that they were remade photos. I believe the editors are more artful because in the job of taking photos for a magizine they have the most work of photoshoping it all in every little detail possible. Yes I was surprised that fake photos were in the past because I didn't think they had the technology back then to mess around with photos unless they were painted but of course paintings are always going to be different looking then the actual thing. I think if I was a photojournalist I would not temper with the photos because people want to see the truth in news reporting not the quality of how it looks.
