You can choose an angle that doesn't show the legs. You can crop out the legs. You can open your Nocti to f/1 and blur them to oblivion. You can ask the legs to please go away. But you can't 'shop out the legs. Is the print reporter required to mention the legs in the story? If print reporter mentions the legs in a story and then later deletes the mention, is that OK? Do the legs need a model release? To make it even stranger, everyone knows the kind of props they put up when the president is photographed to create some image they want to promote. To show any kind of "truth" the photographer would have to reveal the subterfuge. Then they would be calling him/her subversive. The thing is we all agree that some kind of honesty/integrity is needed. It's just really hard to come up with the rules. Because "truth" is just a dream some of us had. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
