Lol!

If CNN would stop now with their "Oil-of-Olay" style of frontpage war photos this would make my day.
I'm-a trying to wonder, wonder, wonder why you, wonder, wonder why you act so.

Yeah, but in each photo he's still holding the gun on them. Still, it's definitely screwed-up sh_t.

IMHO we are witnessing the start of the extinction of history in terms of photo journalism I have an awful feeling this will only be the start.

If the guy acted in violation of his contract of employment or rules layed down by him employer he deserved to go...

He was portraying a moment in time that was a 'fiction'... pure deception.

As for the photo, he has managed to make 2 pictures that look benign, and turn them into a threatening image... in my opinion, not a good move at all.

Peace,

Marc

Well, it was said quite a while ago that photo manipulation (especially now with convincing digital manipulation) spelled the end of history.
