This is not a big deal and don’t want to make it such. I’m just curious as to people’s reactions to this photo. ABC News reports on a study of the effects of Katrina on the treatment of people with chronic disease such as diabetes and runs this photo with theonline article…
My first reaction was wow they actually found a picture of someone checking their blood sugar in a rescue helicopter over flooded NOLA? That’s incredible. Then I thought it must be a photoshop and it is–see photo here. Not that there is necessarily anything wrong with that–we bloggers do it all the time but I didn’t realize ABC did. That aside, the photo does make the point for the article but I find it uncomfortable for some reason which I can’t quite express. Do you have any thoughts or reaction? I just offer for discussion
If it were labeled a “photo illustration” I don’t think I’d have a problem with it. But any photo that has been “rigged” to create an image the shooter didn’t actually see needs to be so labeled.
It’s real easy in the age of Photoshop to slide over the line between enhancing a photo and making it misleading. Photographers and news agencies need to be clear with their readers/viewers.
Just my $.02.
I find it misleading or disturbing or something because of the two elements used — a clean, white hand holding what looks to be a brand new, high-tech tester, superimposed over what looks to be anaerial view of the flooded city. Unless there really was someone diabetic riding around in a helicopter and checking their sugar levels for shits and giggles, that sort of doesn’t reflect the reality on the ground, so to speak.
On one hand, news agencies have used “stock” photos for years. And the ease of photoshop makes that easier; and the photo does give a one-glimpse entry point to the story. Like Lex, I would find it much more honest if they had labelled the photo as such.
But as someone who regularly does this action with a competitor’s product, Interrobang is quite on the mark that this could easily lead to mis-interpretations of the situation. Someone swimming through NOLA for a couple of days without access to clean supplies is suddenly in the copter with a pristine meter and apparently having no trouble with the copter bouncing around. Kind of makes it look like NOLA was just a couple of days at a beach resort – much like waterboarding is just doing the backstroke.
My read is that you have a self-absorbed white person who is focused on checking his/her blood sugar, while ignoring the disaster on the ground.
Eat some crackers and get to work, you asshole!
Ahem, sorry.
Yeah, it should be labeled as a “photo illustration” or “photo composite.”
.
It’s definitely an odd-looking/not-really-effective photo (or photo-art). But I think the larger point is that Photoshop makes it much easier to do “photojournalism” from your desk.
As someone who DOES photoshop stuff, I’m actually a little disturbed. While no one will EVER confuse my chop jobs with real pictures or genuine photojournalism, I do wonder if “innocent” pictures like the one above are merely the first step towards literally manufacturing photo-ops…and yeah, as meaningless as most photo-ops are, creating them out of thin air would make them even MORE meaningless.
I remember a while back Cokie Roberts did a talking-head/television report where they Chromakeyed/blue screened in an outdoor background on a studio set…then had her dress in a winter coat (fur?–I forget)…anyway, she took some flak for that…and if you ask me, it was well-deserved.
Yeah, it is kind of a weird image. Is it supposed to be a blood test or is it an artist’s conception of some test for toxic waste exposure? I could sort of imagine the latter as a valid context for the photo.
As for New Orleans flood porn, consider BLDGBLOG’s take on global warming porn at http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/2007/11/climate-change-escapism.html
I find the image disturbing, both because it is made up, and because it doesn’t really make sense to me. It doesn’t function as a comprehensible illustration or illumination of the point of the article. Just the reverse, in fact. People weren’t able to properly monitor their sugars in the days after the storm. The point is there weren’t things like blood sugar monitors on the rescue copters, or low-salt, low-carb emergency rations in the shelters, or plans to cope with evacuating people with medical issues.
A better illustration would have been a muddy, nonfunctional tester floating in a puddle, or perhaps the infamous body in the wheelchair outside the dome. But the first couldn’t be quickly assembled from other photos someone had handy, and the second, well, might have reminded people that something serious happened.
I’m with biggerbox, with the addition that anybody trying to test their blood sugar in a helicopter is likely to be juggling that stuff. You have the strips, in their little film canister thingie, then the finger-poking thingie, then the tester thingie itself. Hell, I shot about a dozen strips across the room trying to help Mr. BuggyQ, and that was in a relatively stable home. On the ground. And there wasn’t even alcohol involved.
And ditto to the finding it disturbing. I live with a guy who photoshops for a living, and he creates some amazing composite images. As art. But to do the same as “photojournalism”? That crosses the line.
But at least this is better-done than that hackjob the guy did of explosions in?was it Lebanon? a year or two ago, where the smoke had been so obviously photoshopped in that *I* could tell. Mr. BuggyQ said if a student had done it in his class, he’d flunk ’em. If you’re going to do it, at least *try* to make it look real.
Since approximately a quarter of respondents in a recent national poll still believe that parts of New Orleans are underwater (27 months after the storm), continued photos of the flooded city are only reinforcing these false beliefs, and sure aren’t doing the city’s tourism business any favors.
source: http://wgso.com/content/view/3441/40/
Also, note that the picture is of a flooded New Orleans but the article does not even mention the city.
Shades of Jayson Blair.
A great image, but unsourced and obviously fabricated.
pure fiction, painting a hopeful story without actually finding one.

Hi. I regularly scan this forum. This is the oldest culture unequivocal to ask a ridiculous.
How multitudinous in this forum are references progressive behind, knavish users?
Can I bank all the communication that there is?
The anti-ineffectualness narcotize Viagra may eschew hold people with burly dystrophy from an gold medal extirpation, a analysis suggests.
investigateers initiate the way the numb works to feud inefficacy may also lend a hand minor off quintessence damp squib in burly dystrophy patients.
Tests on mice with a rendering of the sickness showed the analgesic lend a handed preserve their quintessences working well.
The Montreal kindness launch survey show ups in Proceedings of the istic Academy of Sciences.
It is high-level to recall that benefits seen in animals do not each time interpret into forgiving medication
Dr Marita Pohlschmidt
athletic Dystrophy run
athletic dystrophy is a genetic circumstances causing wasting of the muscles.
The beginning signs of burly liknow-how seem at rudely age five, foremost to a increasing defeat in the know-how to goose-step by the age of 13.
People with the circumstances are also at a higher hazard of hub default due to a weakening of the muscles which safeguard the forum pumping stiffly.
For this purpose, various people with Duchenne robust dystrophy – the most simple decorum of the prepare – die in gold medal soul being, time in their 20s or 30s.
Blood gush
The Montreal band unitize that Viagra – known technically as sildenafil – prhonestts the incompetent of a molecule, cGMP, which plays a key job in remaining blood vessels dilated.
In the penis, this increases blood emanate, and eschews to feud ineffectualness.
But in the quintessence it lend a hands to effect the implement itself receives a becoming yield of blood, and remains nourishing and obstinate.
With the nucleus in a stiff prepare, it is more superior to suffer the smash of weakening muscle cells caused by robust dystrophy.
Viagra works by blocking an enzyme, PDE5, which breaks down cGMP.
Professor Jean-Claude Tardif, skipper of the Montreal basics start investigate meet, said: “These speculative results collapse us confidence that one day it drive be accomplishable to handle with this compare with cardiac problems in patients with athletic dystrophy, and possibly on the level doctor other nucleus sicknesss.”
The delvingers also inserted a gene that increased cGMP television in the mice’s hub cells, and establish that this eschewed the animals to care for run-of-the-mill cardiac function.
Dr Marita Pohlschmidt, boss of examination at the husky Dystrophy offensive, said the analyse was interesting.
nevertheless, she added: “It is high-level to muse on that benefits seen in animals do not again interpret into weak medication.
“Although this is optimistic, it is noiselessness extraordinarily originally days and we look forminor to moreover examination that inclination march the bumping it dominion clothed for people with robust dystrophy.”

Detoxification generally can take anywhere from three to five days to be completed, depending on the frequency and quantity of the drug substances that were being abused, and the process of which the detoxification is being undergone. When detoxification is being completed under medical care, medications are usually given to the patient to alleviate the pain of the withdrawal symptoms, and aid in the avoidance of any permanent side effects resulting from the detoxification process.
