Javascript causes images to load sideways

I have a very basic page in which I am trying to load a random pic from a set. Some of the images are displayed sideways for some reason. If I open the pics by themselves they are not sideways. Here is the codepen, couldn't upload the images, though: http://codepen.io/antkn33/pen/rymEwe Thanks Anthony

I was looking at your code and it seems fine to me. My only suggestion is the CSS behind it other than that please see my code comments with the solution :)

The stackoverflow link seems to do it. My pics were taken with an iPhone or iPad. When I stripped off all the metadata and manually re-orientated the pics, they came out fine. This seems like it would be a very common issue, I am surprised it isn't handled by the browser.
