Love this photo!

Photo by May Pang 

 May did such a nice job capturing father and son here.  That is such a genuine smile from John looking at Julian.   Please don't tell me that this is A.I.  Why do I have a feeling that it isn't really a May Pang photo and is A.I.?  Maybe because I have never seen a photo where John's hair was wavy like that?  Maybe because John's hand looks weird.  I want this to be a real photo though.

  1. Hi Sara, you're right, it looks a little strange, but it is a real May Pang photo, you can find it with to similar pictures in her book „Instamatic Karma" (black & white and smaller).

  2. Photoshopped? Could be wrong, but the arms don't look like John's.

  3. They’re right—it’s a photo taken by May Pang in 1974, but the original was cropped tighter; someone thought it would be a good idea to "complete" it using AI, but—as usual—there are too many fingers.

    1. I wish people would stop using A.I. to "complete" photos. There is no reason for it and it just confuses things.
