Or even that those are real photojournalists. I guess it's up to our trust in your credibility that the photos you show the world portray what you claim they do. How can I believe them when you have an obvious agenda to prove that point (that photographers influence anything they photograph), and you admit you are willing to manipulate situations to say what you want, regardless of whether the photos reflect reality or not? According to you, it makes no difference. Based on your arguments, I don't buy it. If those are real photographers I have no reason to believe the situations they were covering wouldn't have happened if they were there or not. You say so? Well, excuse me for being skeptical anyway. on 11/6/03 11:20 PM, Rob Appleby at rob@robertappleby.com wrote: > Anyway, I have been meditating on all these issues quite a bit over the last > year, and one of my major concerns now in my work is to show the distorting > effect of the media and to integrate the presence of the photographer into > the image.
