I recall reading a lot of discussion about it a few months ago. perhaps not on PDML, but somewhere. It really just goes to show how difficult real photojournalism is. These students who faked their entry were able to set up scenes, pose the subjects, choose time of day, weather, etc. for all their photos. Honest entrants had to deal with the messy, uncooperative nature of the real world. With such advantages, it isn't surprising that the students who were willing to cheat won the contest. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
