From a liberal rag, but none the less. Hope it aint a dupe.
UPDATE 12:08PM Eastern 7/20/10: BP has faked yet another oil crisis response photo on its Web site. UPDATE: 11:14PM Eastern: BP has now posted the "original" photo, they claim. Except - surprise - they are refusing to post the high-resolution version of the new "original" photo. They posted the high-res version of the altered photo earlier, and in fact, that version is still live via a link below the new photo. Why not post the high-res version of the new "original" photo? Afraid someone is going to enlarge it and find out it's fake too? UPDATE 10:37PM Eastern: The Washington Post has the story now. Oddly, BP is now claiming that the photo is real - but it showed blank screens, and rather than show blank screens at AP's crisis center, they instead put fake content-filled screens in the photo. Uh, a few questions. 1) Why were the screens in the crisis center blank in the middle of the crisis? Coffee break? 2) The BP spokesman claims that the photographer photoshopped the changes. Really? A professional photographer hired by BP Photoshops so poorly that a 12 year old kid could do a better job. Really? Let me show you what BP said exactly, and then the photo that supposedly this "professional" edited: Scott Now hereDean, a spokesman for BP, said that there was nothing sinister in the photo alteration and provided the original unaltered version. He said that a photographer working for the company had inserted the three images in spots where the video screens were blank. is the Photoshop job that the "professional" photographer did - this is just one part of the photo that he screwed up:  http://www.americablog.com/2010/07/bp-photoshops-fake-photo-of-command.html |

My guess is that they didnt add the screen, but instead did not like/want the original slide in there so they replaced it and didn't do a good job of it.

How is this relevant to the command center photo? I'm missing the connection. And no - they aren't accountable to the public. They are accountable to the regulatory agencies within the construct of established federal and state laws. If they choose to make public statements as part of an oil spill - that is their CHOICE. They don't OWE you a daily press conference. They do that as public relations. Don't confuse what you want with what they are REQUIRED to do. |

No big conspiracy. The idiots on the blog who are slamming the poor photoshop job are also pointing out the fact that the EXIF data shows 3/06/2001 as the date the picture was taken as evidence of a BP conspiracy. They say there's no way a professional photographer wouldn't keep his camera set with the correct date. Well, never mind the fact that the same EXIF data shows that the photo was taken with a Canon 1Ds Mark III, a camera which wasn't even introduced by Canon until August of 2007!
Sorry, it looks like it's a simple case of someone at BP not liking a few blank screens and doing a quick horrible PS edit to cover them. |
