Pictures that Lie


I chose this picture to show how great the Trinity Basketball team is. I made this picture from 2 pictures off of the Trinity website of our in game photos and I got the other 3 pictures off of google. I cut all of them out and placed them in front of the crowd. It is manipulated because Trinity would never play the Lakers. It is not a harmful manipulation because everybody knows that we would beat the Lakers if we had the chance to play them..... It relates to the article I chose because it could be a example of a news organization manipulating a photo.

"Digital photo manipulation is often treated in the literature as a problem that occurs when individuals stray from a single set of ethical standards."
