Oh please, don't be so gullible. People just can't seem to stand the fact 
that great photos are taken by real photographers. There is no basis for 
this accusation. It's not like these kinds of pictures happen in a vacuum!

First Eddie Adams' photos and now Nick UTs! Unbelievable. People ought to 
do some checking a bit before spreading such rumors. Not you Anthony, but 
whoever said such a ludicrous thing.

What next? That Migrant Mother was from a movie? How about Ansel Adams 
Moonrise Hernandez? Sheesh. It's about as ridiculous.
