In todays lesson we looked and discussed the manipulation in photos. First we were given different photographs in small groups. We had to list the Denotations and Connotations for our picture. Once we had done this we had to decide on a story for the image. Our group were given a photo of buildings that had collapsed and covered in rubble so we decided that it was an image from the Kobe earthquake in Japan. We were then told that it was actually the recent earthquake in Italy. However, from doing this task we learnt how you can be confused by what a photo is about if its shown in certain ways. 
We then looked at some images from the internet and how they have been changed and manipulated for certain reasons. In 1930 a man named Stalin began airbrushing his freinds who became enemies out of his pictures
