Actually, Ted, if you're talking about illustrations - fashion or food,
you're right. But I have never recreated a news situation, and any of my
photographers who do it will be looking for a new job real fast. By
re-creating, I mean trying to make a picture look like something it isn't.
Not if it's obvious in the picture that's what they're doing. Fooling the
reader is the key.
