So you agree that the one on the left is an actual photo that you claim without evidence is distorted because it's a work photo. Yet you defend the one on the right which you acknowledge is not an actual photo and has been intentionally distorted by the media? You're actually supporting the argument about the corrupt media. Also, what does going to chemistry class have to do with this topic? We don't really care.
1) Yes. The photo on the right is more truthful regarding his true appearance
2) Nothing. Except to confirm that I am a serious student with more than 120 credits and a 4.0 average. I have studied photography and art intensively but my interests have shifted.
