Photo Manipulation and ethics

 A. Brian Walski and other photographers had manipulated images to make them look different from their actual way. For example photographer Menahem Kahana had removed two female ministers from an actual picture and put two men to show an all men cabinet. The people that do this kind of image manipulation are fired and get their images taken away. This paragraph tells us that about 80 image were manipulated during that year.
B. I don't think that doing this kind of things is acceptable because its like if you were faking a signature. When you are a photographer you need to show the real things that are happening and not what people are expecting to see.
A. This image is the most unethical because its showing that the people in the army treat Iraq people wrong. This image is also trying to show that the people are scared of the army guy and don't want to get harmed.
B. This was them least unethical image because why would someone just change the measurements of the pyramids. I don't think that it was necessary to change the positions of the pyramids because for National Geography you are trying to show real life images not fake ones
