(no subject)

[nolly]

About half way down the page (search for "I wrote the caption") if a post from the photgrapher who took the "finding" picture, with explanation of why he chose the language he did, and also background on how Katrina has affected his life so far. Specifically, he says the people were in an area where many items were floating, having already been washed out of the store. He did not see them enter a building and remove items.

This Snopes article quotes a Salon article indicating the the photographer of the "looting" picture saw the subject go into the store and take the goods. Whether that's "looting" or "foraging" or something else is a matter worth discussing.

But the difference in wording between the two captions? Not in my opion, certainly not to the extent I've seen it shouted about.
