Love amongst Mother and Daughter

An Image that has made an impact on me is this one, where it shows a three year old daughter (Rana Afghanipour) kissing her mother (Somayeh Mehri). Somayeh’s husband attacked both mother and daughter with acid when they were sleeping after Somayeh had the courage to ask for a divorce after being beat and locked up. This picture is so powerful that it made an impact on me because it shows how much love both share amongst each other and it shows not only through the kiss but the way the daughter is hugging her mother. It shows a daughter and a mother that stick together no matter the circumstances. I think that if this image was a recording it would have the same impact on me or even more because then I would be able to see more than just the connection and love they share other than just this picture. 

Tourist Guy a Hoax?

After the 9/11 attacks a photo started going around. It showed a "tourist guy" several seconds before the attacks occurred. The photo was supposedly found in a camera in the rubble of the world trade center. The image quickly became viral not only getting national but also international attention. The picture caused many to question weather it was real or fake because the tourist seemed unaware that a plane is just seconds away from hitting the building. After the image of the plane by itself it was revealed that indeed the image had been altered. There are various clues that state the picture was not real. One being the camera wouldn't survive such a huge fall. Two being September 1, 2011 was warm day and the clothes "tourist guy" is wearing is not ideal for that day. Another reason is that the plane on the image is a Boeing 757 where as the plane that hit the tower was a 767s. After its was revealed it was a hoax the internet humor did not stop right there. Tourist Guy was used in many other historical events such as the RMS Titanic, JFK assassination and the Hindenburg disaster. Tourist guy became viral that his name was revealed to be Peter Guzli. Peter had taken a picture during his visit at the World Trade center a few years prior the attacks. After hearing about the attacks he opened up a program and started to edit and emailed it to a few friends. Peter Guzli says "This image was a joke meant for my friends, not such a wide audience."
