Defenders of McCurry should read this article before responding to the
posts critical of McCurry.

Staging a shot and not saying it was staged is stupid. But it happens all the time. Most macro shooters stage everything, as an example. The kid in the last shot looks almost too big to be being carried by his mother though.

A macro photographer is not expected to announce that he's staged a
shot. Some macro photography *requires* staging.

Some macro photographers who do insects do consider putting the insect
in the refrigerator for a few hours before staging a shot to be less
than ethical, though.

IIRC that was a common practice in the days of Kodachrome 10 - 25.
I would like to be a fly on the wall where the photog forgot to tell his
wife he was doing that. :-p
