I've tried to refrain from this whole 'truth' issue, since I'm not a  
professional photojournalist, and I rather 'make' photographs than  
'take' them, but this is simply ridiculous. As if taking this away  
changes the truth. As George said yesterday, it's about sincerity,  
not about neurotic reproduction.
IMO
