First off some reporters should not be allowed to take photos, in particular this one. His grip and grin photo had an offensive sign sticking out of the side of the politicians head. Of the few shots he took, this was the best one. The local news page editor asked the photo desk if he could photoshop out the sign. He refused! He said it was against company policy and would alter the photo changing its relationship to the story. The editor agreed with his comments and the photo ran as is. One other thought in the use of photos. Those of us that shoot for papers take photos by cropping in the camera through use of various lenses, zooming or shooting at certain angles. I have noticed that the papers are cropping much different than before. 3 or 4 people scrambling around a goal has been replaced by 1 player and 1 goalie. The rest of those in goal mouth are cropped out. Well luggers, do you think this changes the photo in any way?
