Homework #3

Although Whelan’s builds a good argument to prove Capa’s photo is fake, it does not convince me enough to support it. Capa’s photograph may seem fake to some extent because it only shows the soldier and nothing else or no one around. There is also the argument that there is no gunshot wound shown anywhere in the body which is one of Whelan’s arguments. I argue that death is unique in every way possible so one cannot judge how the soldier is positioned or falling. In Whelan’s argument, there is a close up of the soldiers hand and there is an explanation of how when a person dies the muscle of the body tighten up and the soldiers hand shows just that.
