No the second one wasn’t “staged”. The first flag was taken down and the second larger flag was erected in it’s place.
Ok.
MAYBE a poor choice of word on my part. Staged is a little harsh.
Coincidentally, the Second picture was very similar to the first and I admit there was only so much room to work in.
But, Lou Lowery deserves/deserved as much credit as the ‘reporter’ got.
