However, Steve McCurry's work is fairly controversial. After having read up on the facts surrounding his photoshopping, I feel a little betrayed. While none of the photos in the exhibit were under inspection for this lack of journalistic integrity, some of the photos that were under review had the vibrancy of a typical McCurry photograph, which made me feel a little betrayed - that he felt ok editing his work so heavily. Also, his excuse is a little half-baked. saying that he decided to become a visual storyteller rather than a photojournalist without telling anyone just screams retcon on a scandal.
