"There is NO WAY this one guy could be taking all of these pictures - look at the images and dates. Does he have a flying car?"
This person might very well be right. But the dates on these photos mean next to nothing half the time.
As has been mentioned before, they are the time the photo was filed or published, or God knows what.
Still, the poster might be right.
True, the dates and times on the Yahoo list seem to be simply when the photos went out on the wires, not when they were taken. Also, Lebanon is not a very big country, though it may take awhile to get around with bridges out, etc. If the guy spends a day or a night criss-crossing southern Lebanon and then submits a slew of photos to Roto-Rooters it doesn't mean he took them all at the time Reuters distributes them. Anyway, I'm not sure we could get anywhere on this aspect without seeing all the original submissions, timestamps, etc. that Reuters gets -- THEY could research this angle, but I doubt they ever will. Duh.
