Three's a charm
It is not reality which I have sought to ‘manipulate,’ but its image.
So, this photographer had some photos published on the NY Times website a while back and they were really poorly Photoshopped, and the Times pulled relatively quickly. If you want to scratch your head or maybe have a good laugh, you can read his, um, explanation? here.
Edit: more here.
After all, as Peggy J. Bowers observes in ‘Through the Objective lens: The ethics of expression and repression of high art in photojournalism’ 2 despite the ontological, epistemological and moral chasm concerning truth, verisimilitude, and authenticity, Art and Journalism have been using the same methods for artistic expression for many years (except in one context they are done explicitly, in another implicitly - and no, I am not referring to the use of Photoshop).
He actually uses the term doppelganger, too.
