Hate to tell you this.. Buthe the “Hick” photo was photoshopped.
the “black space” where his teeth is waaaaay to “black”
That’s interesting... now that I look at it more closely, it does look weird. Wouldn’t that be the icing on the cake if the NY Times was “hicking up” their photos?
I looked in image editing software, and I’m willing to bet it’s altered. If you look at any other black part of the picture, such as the bottom of the light touching the front of the flag, you can see other pixel colors within the black area. The area of the missing teeth is a solid black color.

Not to mention the fact that the photo looks to have been made with a really wide angle lens, perhaps a fisheye, and a very odd angle.
Did the photographer mean to make the dwelling behind that man look as much like a trailer as possible? And, why are the man’s hands the focal point of the image, making him look so distorted?
They actually PAID this twerp to take this pitcher???
I blew it up and gotta tell you, it just didn’t look right. Any experts out there? Any one know this guy?
