Photo of High School Boys Doing Nazi Salute Sparks Outrage
https://petapixel.com/2018/11/13/photo-o...s-outrage/

EXCERPT: A photographer and group of high school boys are at the center of a firestorm of controversy this week after a photo surfaced showing the group doing the Nazi salute. [...] The group pictured is the junior class at Baraboo High School in Baraboo, Wisconsin. The photographer behind the shot was quickly identified as Pete Gust of WheelMemories, who was present as a parent of one of the boys. Gust’s website had the photo displayed until controversy erupted this week. [...] Gust tells Madison365 that he didn’t instruct the boys to do the Nazi salute.

“And the last picture that I shot, I said, ‘All right boys, you’re on the steps. … give me a high sign, a wave that you’re saying goodbye to your parents,’” he said. “And I called it high five, ‘give me a high five.’ … And so I stuck my hand up, and I said, ‘this is what I want,'” Gust says. “I didn’t tell them to salute anything. There was none of that that was taken at that point in time that it was a salute of any kind. It was waving goodbye to their parents (and) having a good time. High five.”

One of the boys pictured in the photo not doing the gesture refutes Gust’s claim that he asked the boys to wave goodbye to their parents....
