I guess this sums it up... can we get on now? great story. Someone already posted that link and as I said; I've already seen proven fakes with elaborate backstories. It actually proves nothing and there are still a lot of things in the photo that scream "manipulated" to me. For instance, my cameraphone takes higher resolution pictures. Why's that one so grainy? I'm gonna have to remain skeptical on this one. Sorry. Oss, I agree with you on being able to appreciate a p-shopped picture to make a point. Once again, it's not photo manipulation that bugs me but when people try to pass them off as genuine snapshots of time. It's lying. Lying is not honorable in my book. Other people's opinions on that matter may vary. |

BTW, it just occurred to me that I have a friend who actually designs digital image manipulation software. I'm gonna send it to him and ask his opinion.

Other people's opinions on that matter may vary. The Star Tribune is the largest newspaper in the state of Minnesota and is published seven days each week in an edition for the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. A statewide version is also available across Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota. But hey, if "The Anvil" says the photo is a fake, I think I'll just go with that!  You don't suppose they would have examined the photo before running the article, do you? Nothing a newspaper likes more than being exposed for providing misinformation. |

The same alien helped Billary win in '92 ? You're right Walkure, I agree, that does explain a lot Hey, Dubya believed it!!  What gets me is in the "story", it says a few things: - Glick is an amateur photographer, but he always carries his camera, just in case.
- He didn't think too much about the photo, until he showed it to a co-worker, Tom Ryan, who e-mailed it to his brother, Paul.
So, if this guy is an avid photographer, why is the picture itself so lousy? It has been compressed to the point, of not being able to determine much. I have some fairly decent software, for manipulating photos, as I did quite a bit of photography in my earlier life. And I couldn't bring up ANY parts of the name, below the eagle. I think it would have been a lot easier, to go to the cemetery, and LOOK at the stone, again. I spent 20 minutes on it. Of course, perhaps the photo we see, isn't near as good as the original, but as a rule, newspapers want the raw copy, and they do their own work on it, to make it the best presentation. Also, he thought almost nothing of the photo? NOTHING?? C'mon, I don't think ANYone believes that!! An avid photog, excited about shooting a freakin' crow, and catches this?? And not absolutely besides himself?? What's THAT all about? And the story doesn't even mention, that his 2nd shot, captured the elephant, lazing in the morning fog...  R |

But hey, if "The Anvil" says the photo is a fake, I think I'll just go with that! I didn't say it IS a fake. I said that I'm skeptical. I don't know for a fact one way or another whether it's real or fake. But if you'd actually read and properly processed anything I've had to say on the matter (instead of reacting like a Venus Flytrap) you'd see that. As to the newspaper's cred, the NYT and Boston Globe have been been in trouble in the past for being loose with the truth. One of the largest papers in Britain was just shut down over a massive scandal that has managed to taint every other news outlet owned by it's parent company. Seems to me this paper is taking the photographer's word for it. Personally, I would be hesitant to do that. |

I guess that's pretty much incontrovertible. I read and processed your rants about "lying" just fine thank you. Whether you realize it or not your opinion regarding the authenticity of the photo comes through clearly. So does your perceived expertise in all thing in heaven and earth. |

I gotta admit, I've been pretty skeptical of this shot too (Although was keeping that to myself unless I was able to find definitive proof one way or another.) but all the pointers I've been able to find seem to point to it being legit... BTW, here's a slightly higher resolution version:  |

I sent the photo to my fried that does this for a living. He said that it's already made the rounds in the industry and in his words the consensus among professionals is that it's "fake as Hulk Hogan's tits".

So if he's "fried" wouldn't that call his judgement into question? My bad! I just couldn't pass that one up!  |
