He just wanted to stay in the race after all. If so he cheats. One can make up a lot of excuses, but the bottom line is he was fired for altering a photograph." Holy cow! Floyd Landis altered a photograph, too?? Now I AM disillusioned. :-) I spent the bulk of my career writing and presenting news in wire service and broadcast employ. One reason I switched careers was because the once distinct terms "editorial" and "opinion" are now synonymous. Mr. McKee may very well be correct in his sympathetic theory regarding the photographer's motives for his clumsy cloning. Nevertheless, it was wrong; a graphical version of a deliberate misquote. The miscreant can redeem himself, however. If he's really good (at shooting, not Photoshop) he can sell to other agencies -- or become a wedding shooter! Craig Roberts Washington, DC
