Having set up a camera to take multiple exposures, it’s amazing how expressions change in a short period of time. You’ll notice in this picture Angela Merkle looks relatively happy, where in the other she looks stern. It all boils down to, people see what they want to see.

One thing we know by the statements, it wasn’t necessarily a happy ending.

Reminds me of your “eye opening” response to learning the context of the Vietnam photos.

“Photo assumption” is not journalism. It’s gossip and wish casting. Okay, it’s what passes for journalism today. Sad!

And therein lies the problem with photos, especially candid ones, they are static, no more than a moment in time and open to infinite interpretations, or, in today’s parlance, memes.

“the Japanese PM isn’t in this one”

And Justin “Bieber” isn’t behind Trump, instead he is standing near the front.
