We know when we see it, that the person who took the photograph was there, hearing the sounds, smelling the air, not in an air-conditioned room hundreds of miles away and a week later writing for a deadline. The result of that knowledge is belief, and where there is belief, there can never be a suppression of emotion. A photograph is a powerful tool, and just as easily be a force for good or evil, a weapon or a Saviour. Right or wrong, literally in the eye of the beholder.
