The case of the Photo that was altered. You ever wonder on these sites where people place their photos up and wonder if they are really who they want you to think they are? How about this how about people who pay for a book that contains pictures of themselves for memorabilia factors… that is the case at hand for a school year book in Texas. There were kids wearing the same outfit, others who's necks were stretched out, and in Ester Olvera's photo for the yearbook, her face was placed on someone else’s body.
Good Morning!!!
"At first I thought it was 10 students, then 40, by 10 o’ clock it was approaching 100," said Lori Oglesbee, yearbook coordinator.
Now school officials believe nearly 600 McKinney High School students had their pictures altered. The changes were made by a national photography company who is now scrambling to fix the problem, and so are students.
The yearbook staff will spend the weekend replacing the tainted photos before shipping it off again. Going image by image to get it right.
"I was pretty excited to see the book come out, because I've been working on it. When it came out, and a big thing like that, it kind of wrecked the whole thing," said Thor Lund, student.
This is second year in a row the high school's had yearbook problems. Last year, school officials say the same company accidentally destroyed the pictures and they had to be retaken, but this mistake, they believe, goes too far.
"Ethically we would never edit a photograph, if it was not appropriate, we would not use it, we would have the student retake," said Oglesbee.
Now the company has agreed to re-print the books, and foot the $85,000 cost. I think using that company again for anything but court documents is literally crazy… the company two years in a row has given high school students nothing but problems…time to re-think your photographic choices.
In other news ever have that feeling when you leave on vacation that you left something behind that you needed? Or when you move you messed something? Arrest nets 21 pounds of pot, scales
TWIN FALLS - Twin Falls police today arrested a pair of local men on drug charges after finding more than 21 pounds of marijuana in an apartment where they had lived.
An employee of the apartment complex apparently found the drugs during a routine search and alerted authorities.
Officers arrested 29-year-old Justin Bright and 28-year-old Samuel Wood.
In addition to the drugs, police also found scales and numerous pieces of drug paraphernalia in a closet inside the apartment -- all of which had apparently been left behind Bright and Wood. I think the two men must of left high on themselves to forget their stash…
Oh well, that is one heck of a start for a Tuesday in our crazy world… may your Tuesday be a whole lot better.
A huge hug and many pats
Mart
