It's interesting that you mention Art Wolfe......Not too long ago he found himself in the middle of this very controversy.... A shot of a herd of Elephants he supposedly made in camera was actually NOT. This image...that you've probably seen was of about 20? or so Elephants taken from the air...it recieved all kind of accolades from nature photographers etc,etc. Then it was found out that the shot Art actually took was of about 3....yes 3 stinkin Elephants...he then cloned them using photoshop to fill out the image and make it seem more dramatic....A totally FALSE representation from someone who USED to be a respected photograper in my eyes.

....Oh, yeah R.I.P. Galen Rowell and his wife .....I met him in the summer of '99 in Missoula, MT. One of the nicest people I've ever met. Was more than willing to give some tips and insight into his very inspiring work....Not bad work for an ex-auto mechanic.....He will be missed.
