Deleting History

This story reminds me a bit of what happens in my photo club. Something offends? Adobegraph it out!

I wanted to write a blog on the original photo. The impact this single decisive moment (undoctored) had on people was gratifying. This photograph proves that photography still has power when it records a decisive moment during a real event.

Hopefully news/documentary photojournalism can retain its honesty and strength even as digital photography and photoshop offer easy fixes and outs.
