And you get a point from me. Amazing, ain't it?Third thread on this.
The choice was obvious: include the entire First Family and cut out Bush or publish the entire image with faces so small they would be recognizable. Bush just isn't important enough to include.
I still say I wish would have just edited him out before he did the enormous damage he did.
I disagree, respectfully. The president of a former President at this event is indeed important to record. The NYT could have put two photos in. It often puts in two photos for lots of things.
Whether it's deliberate or not, I don't know. But it was bad judgement. On this one, NLT, amazingly, gets a point from me.

NYT photographer We didn t crop George W. Bush from Selma pic - Nick Gass - POLITICO
“Just so you know, President Bush was not cropped out, he was not in that frame because he was so far to our right,” photographer Doug Mills wrote in an email to POLITICO.
In a note to photo editors on Sunday, Mills said he didn’t file the shot with Bush included because it was overexposed.
“I did not even send this frame because it’s very wide and super busy and Bush is super-overexposed because he was in the sun and Obama and the others are in the shade,” Mills wrote, per Times Public Editor Margaret Sullivan.
