JOURNALISM: ‘Ethical lapse’: Photoshop scandal catches up with iconic photojournalist Steve McCurry. “American photography blog PetaPixel broke the story earlier this month after Italian photographer Paolo Viglione posted a botched image from McCurry’s trip to Cuba he discovered on the Magnum photographer’s blog. The photo in question showed remnants of a traffic sign sticking out of a passerby’s leg.”
My favorite bit: “However, the world-renowned American photographer, known for the National Geographic magazine front-cover image titled ‘Afghan Girl,’ told Time Magazine that despite ‘years of covering conflict zones,’ he now considers himself a ‘visual storyteller.'”
