- The photographer didn't take the original picture, but captured it when he saw the photo in an ad. He was sued for copyright, but claimed that it was photography of photography that foreshadowed the time of digital sharing.

- The video was arguing over whether Richard Prince's work was acceptable or not. The people in favor of his work said that his photography zoomed into the photo and really showed the real picture. The video interviewed many people, along with Richard Prince and in it, Prince admitted that he didn't know anything about photography when he started.

- I was surprised to see that this image was the original picture that Nike has on many of their products.

- Co Rentmeester took this photo of Micheal Jordan who sold it to Nike for $150  for temporary use for design inspiration. Soon many products had this image on them and the photographer sued Nike for copyright.

- I chose this image because its funny how the image was so famous, and it ended up being fake.

- Marmaduke Wetherell took a fake picture of the Loch Ness monster but was covered by Robert Willson. Wetherell created a fake monster and was claimed as a hoax. This became the start to conspiracy theorists but the pictures became less believable as photoshop days taught people to trust nothing.

- There were pictures of the news papers that were published with the photo on it. 

- This was the only picture captured by Marmaduke Wetherell
