I went to get water today, and as I was lugging the bottles around, I realized that I would spontaneously lean in the opposite direction to how the full bottle was weighing on me. 


The lean is only slight there because I was standing still, but can you see that I am leaning slightly to my right, which is to our left? That's because there was 42 pounds of weight pulling down on me on my left side, so to offset that, to provide a counterbalance, I leaned the other way. It's only natural to do that; everybody does it.
Everybody, that is, except this woman. 



I'm not sure who is heavier, the girl or the bottle, but I'm pretty sure who is stronger between me and the woman, and it's me. Yet, she looks less put out holding that girl with one arm than I do holding the bottle. And she is certainly not leaning the least bit in the other direction to offset and counterbalance the weight of the child. And the same is true of this other woman from the Altgens photo.



That boy is no baby. Look at the size of his head. It's almost as big as hers. Yet, she is supposedly holding him with one arm? How? His body weight is just plopped on her right arm? She just has her arm out there, and he's on it? And she's OK with that? She can do it without the least bit of strain? Who is she? Superwoman? 

Let me tell you something: she is not holding that boy, so unless you can think of something that he is standing on, it is a bogus image. And the same is true of the first woman. 

They are both photographic flim-flam. What we're seeing in them can't be done. It couldn't be done then; it can't be done now; and it won't be possible 10,000 years from now, no matter who is famous at the time.
