Interesting Eddie Adams Quote
The more I read Wikipedia, the more I like it.
Here’s a quote taken from its entry on Eddie Adams, famous for the photo of General Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing Viet Cong prisoner Nguyen Van Lem:
, “Still photographs are the most powerful weapon in the world. People believe them; but photographs do lie, even without manipulation. They are only half-truths.What the photograph didn’t say was, ‘What would you do if you were the general at that time and place on that hot day, and you caught the so-called bad guy after he blew away one, two or three American people?’”
Photographs are only half-truths. Wow.
Someone needs to grab every photo editor and cram that statement down their throats.
