Interview with WJR on altered photo from Beirut
Sunday, August 20, 2006
My profession took a hit right in the gut from one of our own.
A Lebanese freelance photographer for Reuters took the picture above of Beirut buildings on fire from a direct hit of Israeli jets, then using Adobe Photoshop altered the picture to make it look like the image at the top of this page, making the smoke thicker. Look
If you look at the smoke on the left side of the picture he added extra smoke. Have you ever seen smoke form like that in repeating patterns?? I have not. He also added other buildings to the altered photo. He has since been fired from Reuters.
Good riddance!!!!!
