Rand, >>>Actually I suspect you are too cynical. Most PJs are scrupulously honest in their images. I have not read anyone trying to defend what Walski did.

People already believe that lies in photography are common. Art Wolfe, Tim Fitzharris, National Geographic, Time, Inc. all helped to bring this opinion into fruition. At least two nature photographers, one science publication and a news magazine. Go figure. And, all they had to do was let their audience know. Take care, Gregory david Stempel FIREFRAMEi m a g i n g
