Gelf Magazine has this item:

Yes, the note is real. And yes, the president really wrote it. ?It was shot at a pretty good distance,? Wilking tells Gelf. ?I had no idea what was on the paper.? Until, that is, the editors at Reuters enlarged it. ?I was just as surprised as you,? Wilking says.

Wilking has a long history of photographing Bush.

He covered his campaign for Reuters, and even spent time working on the White House staff as a photographer. But he has not yet heard from the president?whom he says he knows very well?about the note.

?I?m curious to know what the White House thinks,? Wilking says, but adds that he is not worried about getting into any sort of trouble about the picture.

Earlier today, Gary Hershorn, a picture editor for Reuters admitted that he was responsible for zooming in on the note and used photoshop to enhance the text of the message and he decided to transmit the photo.

He cleared the photographer, Rick Wilking, of any responsibility of the distribution of the photo.
