Zombie Explains "Faux-tography"

Digitial guru Zombie, who emailed me a few days ago (see my second preceding post below), now has a page of fake photography of the Reuters variety, along with examples and explanations.

Zombie describes four categories of faked "news" photos:

1. Digitally manipulating images after the photographs have been taken.
2. Photographing scenes staged by Hezbollah and presenting the images as if they were of authentic spontaneous news events.
3. Photographers themselves staging scenes or moving objects, and presenting photos of the set-ups as if they were naturally occurring.
4. Giving false or misleading captions to otherwise real photos that were taken at a different time or place.

Powerline blog describes Zombie's analysis as "the most comprehensive so far of Reuters photo fraud."
