With regard to the photo of Bush and the lens caps, Jim Winstead writes:

don’t dismiss it as a fake quite so quickly (snopes certainly didn’t call it a fake — just a possible fake). i contacted contact press images (from the credit at the bottom of the photo) via [email protected], and a jeffrey there replied that the photo was indeed legit.

but as snopes points out, it’s a pretty trivial thing. (i’ve forwarded the confirmation on to them. hopefully they’ll work their magic to confirm it beyond my simple email to the public contact address.)

(wired also has a related article about the increase of faked photos here.)
