Subject: RE: BS: digitally enhanced photography
I did create a photo.

I went to Big Bone Lick State Park in Kentucky and took a picture of a display there of a wooly mammoth stuck in a boghole. Changed it to black and white and fuzzied it up a bit so you couldn't tell the mammoth was made of fiberglass.

Then I photographed a can of Spam (the luncheon meat). Fiddled with it, tilted it a few degrees, and resized it. Opened the mammoth photo and the doctored Spam photo and stuck the Spam (in color) into the water next to the mammoth (in B&W). It ended up looking like a wooly mammoth (in B&W) which had dropped its can of Spam (in color) when it got trapped in the boghole.

The created photo was then sent to Mr. Whitekeys at the Fly By Night Club in Anchorage (if you've been there you understand).

Fun to do, but I made no claims to have taken a picture of a wooly mammoth, much less one that had dropped its can of Spam.
