As a photographer it is VERY easy to see that most (if not all) video of John McCain is shot through a filter that blurs the video slightly. Just look at the video on Face the Nation this morning. Even on HD the video is blurry. One of the techniques actresses required as they aged is to photograph through cheesecloth. It blurs out the wrinkles.
There is no question in my mind that McCain is requiring the use of a filter to blur the image... and McCain is almost never photographed from his left.
Both of these techniques are used to minimize his age and the assymetry of his face. It also makes it difficult to see how much makeup is required before his video appearances.
I'd love to see your comments on Americablog and whether anyone has information that McCain's staff requires the use of a filter and photographing from only his right.
