Self Portrait at Buchenwald:It's the Real Thing by Alan Shcechner

What might appear to be a confusing article title turns out to be interesting idea.

In this case, the 'semiotics' part is not specifically about language, but what we interpret as symbols in in computer manipulated photographic images.
