Memo to NY Times photo editors:
Isn’t it time to retire Marion True‘s 2005 Italian perp walk photo? You used it again (how many times has it now been?) to illustrate yesterday’s story about her bail hearing in Greece in connection with her acquisition, when she was antiquities curator for the Getty, of the funerary wreath that the museum has now agreed to return.
Okay, it’s a powerful image—this middle-aged woman, hiding behind dark glasses and looking distraught as she greets the photographers’ reception line outside court in Rome, where she is facing charges of illegal trafficking in antiquities. But it’s getting very old, don’t you think? If you don’t have another shot in your files, I’m willing to bet that the Getty could provide you with one.
