      I’m thinking not. Having had my fair share of tear gas, it’s not fun. Even a block away it’ll warm up your face because it’s just in the air. The masks are literally just got breathing and seeing, but it’s still very uncomfortable up close.

        As mentioned in comments below, it’s a Chicago Tribune photographer, Stacey Wescott. Amazing photographer!

          Incredible shot then. I go to the World Press Exhibition each year and this is the kind of image you see taking the awards. There’s a ot of perfect timings all happening at once for it to work out.

            I was 100% thinking that too! I saw it and immediately was like “wow, that looks like it will win a prize.”

            Cool to hear you go to the press exhibition each year! You must see a lot of amazing photos there.

            I’m an amateur photographer and mostly do insects.

            Incredible timing, positioning, and framing. Also preparation I assume, being able to take the photo in that environment. Even the wind had to be right! Remarkable.

          And my apologies, but an error is disallowing me to edit the other reply.

          “Shit” = “Shot”

          I have doubts it’s a “shot” based on the vibrant comp of the individual and their reaction to what’s in their proximity. But most noteably, the image isn’t 8:10 as the majority of cameras shoot. But it could be all real and, shit on a blad or something, and in that case it’s a stunning example of photojournalism.

          Unfortunately, these are the times we live in now. Editting, photomanip, and now AI are all just too easy

            This is a well-attested photo by a photographer at a reliable news org. Don’t denigrate this real person’s work by not giving it the courtesy of scrolling down to the comment that provides the source before assuming it to be AI.

              Gaslighting doesn’t work well on the internet. You shouldn’t do it to people anywhere anyway.

              At least everything I remember writing and…looks at it…yep, still is there, didn’t have a conclusion, let alone one on an assumption of AI. It’s just an expression of “doubts” which I even included how they could he wrong.

              And while you do that courtesy scrolling, pay attention to timestamps.

                Also, I struggle to understand how anything I said (people are doing important work, some of them are really good at their jobs, they deserve the courtesy of double checking before the assumption of AI) could be construed as gaslighting. For one thing, it’s all true.

                  Don’t denigrate this real person’s work

                  This has not occurred and you are trying to make it as though it has.

                  before assuming it to be AI.

                  This also has not ocurred and you are speaking as though it has.

                  Listing some areas of doubt, explaining them, challenging why they could also be wrong, and explaining examples of why it is worthwhile being cautious when doubt arises ≠ assuming it to be AI. Of the many things listed, AI wasn’t even connected to the main content of my comments, it was part of a serial list of dumb shit we have to deal with.

                  That’s such a huge twist of words and the situation by you, so that you can then tell me off for intentionally attacking a person or their work, based on this assumption of AI which you made up, but are trying to tell me is actually something I have done.

                  If that’s not a gaslighting attempt, then all I can think is you’re genuinely making things up as you read, and at the end of it there’s this fictional me that’s done these fictional things and lucky me gets the output of a dillusion. Who knows? It isn’t treatment people generally tolerate without calling out, though.

                  No there’s not. I was one of the first comments. I know, I was there. There’s replies that occur after that, but no one replied to their inbox by first going to a post to read all new comments in a thread.

                  This should be very obvious if you had read my comments, not just the one. But that’s just my point.

            the image isn’t 8:10 as the majority of cameras shoot

            ???

            Many other formats exist and are extremely common (3:2, 1:1, 4:3…)

            And more importantly, cropping is a thing.
