Week Post #3

"Of course, Mr. Ledger died more than a year ago, so one may be inclined to ask where the photo came from.
The answer: 2005. The shot of Ledger was apparently taken while he was promoting "Brokeback Mountain." Editors digitally added Mr. Nolan and voilá. Some might say the digital redux is in questionable taste, but magazine reps insist they took great care and worked "with permission." We're a little fuzzy as to who, exactly, gave the OK. A Ouija board, perhaps?"

I came across this story while checking my email the other day and though it was very appropriate for this week's post. I was just thinking how protective some people are about their media. Something as simple as an old picture that has already been published, such as Heath Ledger's, becomes such a controversy. Do you think it;s really that big of a deal? I certainly don't. I personally think they went too far with this media medium but who am I to judge!
