Pitt, Palin, Jolie and the Photography Behind It All

Two interesting bits from the good folks over at the photojournalism hub, PDN Pulse. First up is their story on Sarah Palin‘s Newsweek cover, which the site has researched and found that the photo used, showing the VP pick holding a shotgun over her shoulder, was a piece of stock from 2002. Nothing strange there, as magazines use stock photos all the time. It’s just an odd phenomenon to have a need for it with someone so high profile (see: guarded from the media).
