Pictures that Lie

What picture you chose and why?

I chose to make a picture of a few different types of animals in a school hallway because it symbolized the diversity of the world and that we must coexist.

Where did the picture originate?

I got some of the pictures from Stock Exchange and some from Google images. Most of the Stock Exchange pictures were from documentations of animal watchers.

How was it manipulated?

The four animals were magnet lassoed out of their pictures and placed in different position in the school hallway.

Was the manipulation harmful?

No, this manipulation was not harmful at all.

Why or why not?

Because unlike the manipulation of pictures in Cytology, where a simple change could mean life or death, my picture was made for the betterment of society, and the establishment of friendships that are unique and out of the ordinary.

How did it relate to the article you researched?

My picture did not really relate to my article very much, because the manipulation that the researchers were talking about was of a harmful and disturbing nature, while my photo is trying to make the world a better place. The only similarity is that they are both manipulated in some way-shape-or-form.
