But, my point is, much photojournalism is in B&W and every photojournalist
chooses which lens to use.  I don't agree with his removing the foot, but
photojournalism can be black and white and cropped.  That has always been
acceptable.  So how is it anymore a lie than any photo that is a B&W
representation of a scene that took place in color?
