Pictures That Lie

I chose the picture of the Lebanese capital after an Israeli air raid because it caught my eye when I was looking through the pictures. The picture originated from Lebanese photographer Adnan Hajj. it was manipulated by adding more smoke to intensify the fact that the city had been attacked. it was manipulated to create a greater effect to make the attack appear worse. The manipulation was harmful in my opinion because the attack of a capital city is a very serious matter and it was an inappropriate way to alter a photo to create greater impact.
