Alf Howard, one of the survivors of the famous voyage, says of Frank Hurley: 'He would not go against the truth, but he would do anything to highlight a particular point,' said Howard this weekend. 'He would modify the background to a picture. He had a very good idea of what the thing would look like.' Howard admits Hurley was 'very good at manipulating' images, but he says there was always a good reason. 'He would superimpose images, but I don't think he ever tried to alter the outcome.' what a relief! the headline had me worried that shackleton had gone to the alps, built a scale model of the _endurance_ getting smashed in a bird bath, photographed that, skiied for a year and a half and came back to england the triumphant antarctic hero. -rei On Aug21 22:24, Bill Clough wrote: > USA > TEXAS > CORPUS CHRISTI > 22 August 2004 > > This from the London Guardian online: > > > http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/news/story/0,11711,1288286,00.html > > Claims Shakleton's expedition photographes were faked. > > --Bill > > > > > _______________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!
