It wasn't the first time and it won't be the last. A good article for thought.

Lies, damned lies and photography: how the camera can distort the truth
By Paul Vallely
18 February 2004


Everyone knows the saying that the camera never lies. What is less well-known 
is that the man who coined the phrase, almost a century ago, added a rider. 
"While photographs may not lie," the great American documentary photographer 
Lewis Hine said, "liars may photograph".

They have been at work ever since, as was seen this week with the fake snap of 
John Kerry which caused a stir in the United States. 

Yours I'm not lion,
