Photography's Truth in the Age of Digital Imaging
Pat Ford speaks with photographic historian Fred Ritchin about the computer manipulation of photographic images. His new book, "In Our Image," discusses the implications of a technology that makes the photograph as susceptible to fraud as the printed word. Ritchin is the founding director of the photojournalism at the International Center of Photography, and the director of photography for the "New York Times Magazine."
