New Technique Analyzes Shadows to Spot Photo Fakes

Why would Obama be holding a basketball? The kid in front has one. IMO, he would not have been holding a ball in the team pic.

One thing that has always betrayed this photo as a fake is that tiny seemingly insignificant triangle of light blue between 0 and Grandpa’s shoulders. There is absolutely no reason for anything to be blue there!

Now that you mentioned it, yes, the shadow across his shoulders is a big one.

So in the final analysis, shadows are the biggest giveaway after all. The other shadow I mentioned in post #44 was so complete I didn’t even notice there was a ball underneath his hands. Now the ball must be levitating in the air.

By the way, I must scratch item #2 from my original list. I didn’t see the youth’s forearm at first and thought it was missing.

Unlike obama’s alleged childhood photos which are in color and look contemporary, both team photos (post #22 and #54) are b/w, grainy, and resemble old WWII era photos. Apparently, they decided to use very old photos to minimize the chance someone will emerge with the real photos. One can only count on family members to keep the secrets after all.

“I can’t find anything wrong with that picture...”

Look at the shadows behind their feet. Moochelle’s goes straight back, Barry’s go to the left at an angle.

That patch of wall that shouldn't be there was placed where it is to fool the eye into accepting that Stanley Armour's arm wasn't at his side; it's the only way the eye can be fooled into accepting that fake hand on zero's shoulder.

For every fake there's a need.

The need was to show there was still a relationship between the Dunhams and zero at the time he was in New York.

There wasn't. There is no more evidence of any kind of them ever being together after that obvious fake in Central Park. The last genuine photograph of the Dunhams with zero might have been the one at his graduation in Hawaii in 1979.

They took a photo of him sitting with his back to the lake, and posed him so that he would fit between the Dunhams:

And that's why the sun is shining on his hand:

Look again hers do too.

[Fred Nerks]

There are many images of them on that visit, all of them equally hideous. And now you'll say look, he's got four legs and two right hands!

[Fred Nerks]

Oh look, they found an Indonesian garden-gnome!

[Ditter]

LOL! Yes he does, you are right. She had an extra right hand coming off Airforce 1 and he decided he wanted an extra hand. Why are they cutting people out of these photographs? And where did she get that awful green pantsuit? I want to know so I will never shop there.

[Ditter]

LOL! Well you found the extra legs and feet but we still don’t know about the green pantsuit.

Was he supposedly married already at the time of this picture? He is wearing his “wedding” ring after all....

[King Moonracer]

Did Obama’s head shrink? As a kid, his head is ginormous, but as an adult it’s average to less than average. Heads don’t shrink.

Creepy!

The shadow behind her right leg is cut off — it stops abruptly, so you can see a vertical dividing line between her and BO. The shadow behind her left leg goes off at an angle behind her and looks normal.

It’s not a wedding ring, it’s an African-elephant-hair ring, made in gold. It’s a piece of traditional african jewelry.

There are a number of images of that visit to Indonesia on Google Images, why don’t you download them all and look at the shadows? It will help to take your mind off the ugly pants-suit and current world events.

That picture brings to mind this old TV commercial:

  It Takes Two Hands To Handle A Whopper-Teller

thanks for straightening that out for me.
