Looks like I could need one too... :-) I believe that's the way it works over here also. I wish this would sink in with other documentarists too; that photos are not more reliable than the human producing them. We currently have a rather awkward debate over the credibility of nature photography over here. It has been going on for over a year, perpetuated by a small handful of conservative photographers. The latest flames flared up after an exhibition in Stavanger by Steve Bloom: http://www.stevebloom.com/ Apparently, a few Norwegian nature photographers feel that his images are too good to be true, and then jumps to the conclusion that his images are "completely faked".
