Has anyone else been following The Lively Morgue? The NY Times is blogging about photos from it's archives. I love to see the history and the art!

@shutterbugger @andrewdearling The shot of the kkk guy is a fake. It was shot by Australian photographer sean Izzard in 2004 for an ad campaign for large magazine. Here is his portfolio http://www.seanizzard.com/izzard_gallery.html

You can find the original photo there and then see how someone photoshopped to cut out the words in the ad. The crease down the middle was because it was probably scanned from a magazine and that is why it is perfectly in the center because the ad was a full page spread.

This illustrates how powerful and deceptive photography can be in this day and age. Pretty scary really that people are calling this a historic picture and it was thought up by an ad agency lol.
