Every summer the local newspaper prints a big photo of happy fair-goers on a carnival ride, usually something that is supposed to turn people upside down. The paper always prints a photo of these riders as if they were upside down when the photo was taken.
The people in these photos generally look directly at the camera. The direction of gaze in the rotated photo sends their gaze to the left or right edge of the photo. Similarly, the pull of gravity on their hair, jewelry and the drape of their clothing tells me the earth is located on either the left or the right side of the photo. These disconnects are unsettling; I wonder how any photographer or editor can let them slide as journalism. They are so clearly rotated 90 degrees. Shoddy photography and shoddy journalism.
