"There are several theories surrounding the photographer in this panoramic. One theory claims that the original image did not show the photographer and that he (or possibly someone else) later added himself to the image. Another theory speculates that the original did indeed have the photographer in the image but was later falsely corrected with the intention of rectifying history by editing the photographer out of the image." -- unknown author.
