Hey Cindy,
I am sorry if you got me wrong but i didn't mean anything about you or your question. I was just talking about those media people and Facebook pages who shares Nepal earthquake pics just to get more popular.

There may of been a way to show that picture but I couldn't figure it out in the question area Sorry!
