If the two photos of Graham come from the same source image, then it looks like the microphone on the first image (http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/paul-graham.j...) was airbrushed out (http://venturebeat.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/pg-lowball.jp...). (Unless a microphone was airbrushed in for the first image.) Just thought that was curious, in addition to the desaturation...


Here is the photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jolieodell/4525127286/in/photos...

The link from the article links directly to that, and yet they heavily manipulated it and call it journalism.


The shadow of the mike's been left on the cheek and there's some fairly obvious photoshopping of the wire on the ear and the t-shirt.

They've also removed the red-eye and spruced up his eyes.


The second one has shadows by the neck that were blurred to hide the mic shadow.

This seems like a lot of image manipulation for a "honest" journalist.
