I was actually referring to him keeping  his ass from being blown-up 
while covering a war. Obviously, it's a poor job of adding contrast 
trying to make better reproductions. Does it actually change facts? . 
The darn buildings were bombed, they burned, noontime light is hell on 
color shooting? It is all a matter of opinion, but I'd be much more 
concerned with the murder we seem to be giving a stamp of approval to 
than beefed up contrast. (when I say murder I mean on both sides. The 
Israelis are just more efficient at it)
