Brazil, France deny rift over jet disaster probeLa Paz – A Bolivian television station aired photographs from the television drama "Lost," presenting them as images of an Air France airliner that went down in the Atlantic, the station's news director said Monday.

"On Thursday, two photographs were aired on our prime time news report and on Friday we apologized," said Eddy Luis Franco, the news director for the privately-owned PAT television station.

The photographs showed the interior of an aircraft.

In the first one, passengers are seen using oxygen masks to counter the effects of loss of cabin pressure, and in the second a passenger is shown being sucked out of the rear of the aircraft as its tail breaks off.

"These two photos were apparently taken by one of the passengers on the airliner the instant before the collision and after the aircraft crashed," the news presenter said in airing the images.

She said the photographs were recovered from the memory of a digital camera that belong to passenger "Paulo Muller," a Brazilian actor.

Franco said the photographs came to the station via the Internet.

"Lost," a series produced by ABC Studios and Bad Robot Productions, tells the story of survivors of an air crash in a mysterious island in the Pacific.

Hagar's joke got me thinking, so this link is interesting: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/notcamera.htm

I've read that before- good article, I like Ken Rockwell's stuff.

I was at an unspecified social gathering the other day and someone told me "I should be able to take good pictures because I have a fancy camera"(I'm paraphrasing because I was drunk at the time and can't exactly remember her exact words, and it wasn't anything fancy dangling round my neck it's just a basic budget dslr).

Eventually I had to give up explaining that I don't know if I can take what she described as "good pictures" because it is not really for me to decide what she thinks is a "good picture", it's up to her. And that it is the person behind the camera, rather than the camera itself that dictates the aesthetics of a picture.

All I got in return is a pretty blank look! :rolleyes: Should've kept my mouth shut, nodded and smiled!

Little joke I just found while stumbling:

Japanese scientists have invented a camera with a shutter that operates so fast, it was recently able to take a picture of a woman with her mouth shut.

Whatever way that works it tricks the brain in the most satisfying way, mucking incredible Calina (I'm talking about your NASA post).

But this is the "Off Topic" Topic so you're not off topic at all.

I think.

Yeah, no I'm right.

Coming from the Women and Photography thread and not wishing to post off topic there, I've just found a very good site:

http://www.8asians.com/2008/04/14/dorothy-yoons-13-of-blondes/

There are some very fine Asian women photographers and their work is witty as well as insightful.
