Look at the first photo. What do you see?
(C) Benjamin Chesterton How does your reading of the first photo change when you see the second?
(c) Benjamin Chesterton The two photos are taken at the same place and within seconds of each other and yet the [...] Have you checked out the daily blog Someone Once Told Me? It’s a collection of photographs where the subjects are holding up a phrase someone once told them, that has somehow affected their life. I included it in this list of collaborative photography projects, and was in it last year too (warning, rude words). [...]

Sami is also a young carer, who provides crucial support to both her mum, who lives with a range of physical disabilities, and her younger brother, who suffers from ADHD and has serious emotional difficulties.

Then I flicked to the set and found another story to the one sold to me in the headline. There’s nothing technically wrong with Nick Danzinger’s black and white pictures of people from [...] If you have no knowledge about East Africa you might actually believe a statement like the one written above presumably by the photographer Stephano de Luigi on the VII website. I’m wracking my brains to imagine how he (or someone else) could have got it so wrong, and how no-one else has spotted it?
