Heading towards yet another wet weekend here.
One thing probably worth remarking upon this week is the whole issue of trust, media speculation and after image processing that the Wales's appear to have got themselves into with the release last week of a picture of them and their children for Mothering Sunday (the British Mother's Day) to the World's media after her period of being in hospital.
It didn't last twenty-four hours before being picked apart for showing some less than subtle editing which seems to be norm with many today but this ignores one important requirement which is Newspapers require an image to be an accurate indication of the event taken even if they may crop a picture themselves having received so it was retracted.
A picture has to be of the event not a composite even of many images taken at the time or in effect a photo montage upon a theme.
But then it appears they *may* be issues with a picture issued in 2022 of the late Queen and her family.
An explanation proffered was as an amateur photographer, the Princess of Wales enjoys dabbling in photo editing which is probably true - and has reflected in the controversies from time to time about rules in digital photographic competitions generally - but you need to give the press the picture "as is".
As it stands the attempt at the "perfect" picture seems to have fuelled speculation on the extent of the Princess's condition, if we're having anything held back, even bizarrely if the royal are using a body double, all of which is a long way from her intent in having and issuing that picture.
Sometimes you just have to present the picture as taken, warts and all.
