Throwing tame animals into rivers (Perkins) or renting tame animals for "wild" shoots (National Geographic) is "fauxtagraphy," not photography.
Beyond the above offenders, this article details how those "wildlife"-themed Western calendars AREN'T taking pictures of actual wildlife, in many cases. Disgusting.
My respect for Marlin Perkins just dropped several notches. And, this is another reason why old-breed zoo management is, thankfully, dead and gone.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
