USA Olympic fauxtographers

Claudine sent me a link to a photographers blog called fstoppers. Pros were unimpressed with the quality of some of the work from the U.S. Olympic Committee’s Media Summit in Dallas last May.

Something’s lacking in this pic. 🙂

Some of the shots from that event were excellent, of course.

Update:

… The photographs were taken by Joe Klamar, and they are not good. Klamar was evidently on assignment for AFP … and the photos were then distributed by Getty Images

Klamar is an award-winning Czech photographer. …

Somebody needs to be monitoring the Getty feed. Obviously.
