It all speaks to the influence of viewpoint, agenda, memory, the triad of work ethic/competence/due diligence (or lack thereof in one or more of same), etc. If there is "a" "truth", it probably lies, as with many controversies, in the nebulous middle, between the outraged and the offended. But in the end, the photo and its caption seriously misrepresented reality in more than one critical aspect, and by doing so, won the photographer an accolade based on error. Not Lance Armstrong level, but equally undeserved rewards. ?howard On Feb 24, 2013, at 1:13 PM, George Lottermoser <imagist3 at mac.com> wrote: > Anyone bother to read the photographer's quite reasonable response to the > accusations? > > a note off the iPad, George > > On Feb 24, 2013, at 12:24 AM, Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> > wrote: > >> Confirms many of my prejudices about WPP. >> >> Cheers, >> Nathan >> >> Nathan Wajsman >> Alicante, Spain >> http://www.frozenlight.eu >> http://www.greatpix.eu >> PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws >> Blog: http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/ >> >> YNWA >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> On Feb 24, 2013, at 5:54 AM, Jayanand Govindaraj wrote: >> >>> http://www.bagnewsnotes.com/2013/02/when-reality-isn%E2%80%99t-dramatic-enough-misrepresention-in-a-world-press-and-picture-of-the-year-winning-photo/ >>> >>> Cheers >>> Jayanand >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Leica Users Group. >>> See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >>> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Leica Users Group. >> See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
