Oh my goodness. Thank you for the good laugh. I am sitting here at my computer with nobody around and nearly fell out of my chair laughing. I hope the neighbors don’t complain.
Thank you so much.
I LOVE Looter Guy. It is a classic photo. I wonder who snapped it. That person needs to be given credit. Every time I see Looter Guy, I laugh all over again.
I was researching Looter Guy for his identity. Until now, I have not found anything. But then again, I only spent about half an hour only because my time was limited at that point.
On the other hand, PETER GUZLI (Tourist Guy) is a Hungarian from Budapest. He was working at a hotel in Colorado Springs. He went on vacation in November of 1997 to NY City to visit relatives and had that photo taken. He had returned to Hungary when 9/11 happened. At that point, he retrieved that photo (which he had along with many other photos from his parents home) of himself and did some PhotoShop on it. He sent his altered photos to a few friends and the rest is history. Little did he know. Within hours it went around the world through e-mails. He did not mean for that to happen and was not pleased.
Some crooked Brazilian who was going to try and make money off of this said it was he who was in that photo. That is when Peter came clean and offered a series of photos proving he was the one in the photo.
