That is the kind of work which SHOULD be submitted for a Pulitzer prize but probably won't. Of all the worthless trash they give awards to, you just brought more enlightenment and understanding that 1000 NYT columnists. Kudos.
I submit it's not taken at the same time at least. Notice the prominant knot in the first photo. The knot is directly centered over the white stripe. In subsequent photos the knot is changed and drawn over the the left side of (subjects left side). Who knows when these cropped photos were taken, before, during or after the event? No way to tell.
Besides, nowdays with photoshop nothing is believeable in a photo. Remember, we've all seen Tom Hanks receive a medal from President Lyndon Johnson in the movie Forest Gump.
So, what are we trying to do here? Tell everyone The story may be false, but the context is true? Sound familiar?
