Day in a life - getting ready

Photojournalism is a hard master. There are strict rules that apply, and severe punishment follows any wanderings from the road of the rule. Allan Detrich a renowned photographer formerly with the Toledo Blade , was forced to resign from the paper due to a wandering from the path. Apparently he cloned out distracting legs of a fellow photographer in one of his submitted photos from a Baseball game. Allan has given explanations on the matter.
If what he says is true, his punishment seems very severe.

The photo at the top is from an assignment in school called Day in the Life, it is altered and therefore its not a photo anymore, its a photo illustration. You can see the whole series here.

    Hi bill,

    I have, storm chasing sounds exciting and mr. Detrich seems to be an excellent photographer in that field also.
    Did you mean something else? If so please elaborate.
    Btw I dont know the details of this matter well enough to take a stand. Just thinking out loud.

    cheers

    Seems mr Detrich is a “serial manipulator”

    cheers
