I'll point out an interesting New York Times article "Ask it no questions: the camera can lie". This article discusses how photography had been seen as a medium of truth, but now "the veracity of photographic reality is being radically challenged" as "technology makes it easy to recompose and combine photographic images, and to do so in a way that is virtually undetectable." By creating a "kind of unsettled and unsettling hybrid imagery based not so much on observable reality and actual events as on the imagination", "photographs will appear less like facts and more like factoids" and will "fundamentally alter not only conventional ideas about the nature of photography but also many cherished conceptions about reality itself."
This article, by the way, is from 1990.
