Subject: [Leica] OT: The camera doesn't lie!

"Lying with photographs is more serious than lying with words, because
people believe that the camera cannot lie."

Ladies and gentlemen,
The above is a quotation from an article in  Le Monde Diplomatique  16
February 2000.  Please remember this is a quotation from Le Monde of
Paris!   Think about it for a moment before you respond, as I find it
very interesting as a lifelong,  50 years, photojournalist,

Think about about that for a moment in this day of computers, digital
cameras and photoshop.

Do you feel this is right or wrong?
