4. AP Reuters UPI..and many other photgraphers
You can choose your own filters, lighting etc when you are inside and in control, but when you go outside, anyone can take your picture..

7. It's a well-known, often used political trick
When making a political ad, always use a photo or video that makes your opponent look as bad as possible.

She's definitely not the same looking Hillary that was with Bill Clinton at his '92 inauguration. And I'm sure there are plenty of photos of Obama floating around that aren't too flattering as well.

8. Interesting. All of the bad pics of Hillary usually catch her looking old or ugly.
While bad Obama pictures are usually one's where Obama is looking angry or arrogant.

Interesting...

15. I'm an air traffic controller, but photography is a hobby.
My girlfriend is a professional photographer.

A photograph is a record of considerably less than one second of time. Given enough exposure, (as all candidates are) it's very easy to find images that make them look horrible.

I laugh when people try to bill a given photo as proof that somebody is "mad" or "stupid" or "crazy". We all look that way in the half-seconds when we recompose our expressions.

17. Y'all can call me crazy, I don't care. She looks great for someone....
who's on the campaign trail 24/7, who's as active as she is, and is 60 years old.

That photo doesn't bother me one bit. I hope I hold up as well as she has.

I think she's a beautiful woman, inside and out.

18. Even as an Obama supporter I think this is pretty rude
It's a well done photoshop job, it's obvious.
