For those interested, no, those aren’t images of Arab homes, “lame” or otherwise.

That’s the Hooded Man from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, and ‘Napalm Girl’ — from the Vietnam War.

Yes, I know the history of both images

And that’s why I selected them.

Gives a much better sense of the effect made by all the mirrors on the top, sides, and back.
