There's currently a controversy going on involving a photograph by Paolo Pellegrin. You can read the details here. http://theonlinephotographer.typepad...blog_index.htm if you're not already familiar with it.
My question: would Pellegrin's photograph (which we'll assume was made with film and originally printed in a darkroom) have been any less "real" if instead of posing the subject and photographing him in the background he had found an image of the subject on some other web site and used Photoshop to move it into a photograph he made of the background?
