Thanks for sharing this. There's some excellent photoshop work in those images - he must have a really good computer. Mark On 4/5/2017 9:17 PM, Igor PDML-StR wrote: This was happening last year, but I didn't see it. As far as I can tell, it was not discussed here. So, for those, who like

And that incident starts looking much more pale when outshadowed by what the chief politicians shamelessly do these days with facts on camera and in writing, and without any remorse when caught with obvious contradictions. That trend blurs the line of what's acceptable in the society in

Re: Controversy around McCurry

$1.99 good price!Burt I wouldnt part with mine even for $70... On Amazon and on ebay for books or anything else there is always someone who is asking rediculously high prices hoping some sucker will search for a title or specific object and the high priced item will come up first...

That book is going for a range of prices from $1.99 to over 70 bucks on Amazon. Majority in Good condition. Similar at Abe Books. How in the world do they price these things? I have another book from that same series and vintage, hardcover. Got it for $8 from the US. Good Erwitt info, Ann.

Re: Controversy around McCurry

Doesn't seem to me any of the images he's accused of manipulating were represented as "photojournalism". His photos that were represented as "photojournalism" were not manipulated. The Afghan girl's photo was not manipulated when originally published in National Geographic. That he might want to

Re: Controversy around McCurry

I have no problem with the staging and manipulation. If it makes for a better photo, it's fine. But captions that suggest otherwise are a violation of ethical standards. The picture is great. The writing is fraudulent. Paul via phone > On Apr 5, 2017, at 9:17 PM, Igor PDML-StR

Re: Controversy around McCurry

Bruce... Yup, Erwitt set up the shot with the kid on the bicycle... (The original is in color, by the way) _This was an advertising gig_ Never any claim made anywhere that it was candid... He was hired by Doyle Dand Bernbach to shoot photos for the French Tourist Office. See page 60-61

Controversy around McCurry

This was happening last year, but I didn't see it. As far as I can tell, it was not discussed here. So, for those, who like myself missed it completely. Apparently, people discovered quite a few digital manipulations as well as "staging" of the photos by Steve McCurry.
