PHOTO: Tell me THIS isn't a little staged/airbrushed?

[Bluebear]

I particularly like the "Divine light" illuminating Smirk.


This photo released by the White House shows first lady Laura Bush looking on as President Bush signs a proclamation designating February as American Heart Month, Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2005 in the Oval Office of the White House.

1. What? No reflected light from Bush for Laura the Lump?

[mhr]

3. Her Hips Are Narrower Than Normal

eom

[Bluebear]

5. No, they spent all the dough shaving inches off her hips there

I wonder how the heart association feels about her smoking habit?

[Sydnie]

2. Does that mean that they are finally going to give one to

Cheney, Rice, and the repugs in Congress?

[MercutioATC]

4. Ummm...I think the Sun is responsible...

It may have been staged to get the light that way, but I see no reason to believe it's been altered.

6. Have you seen any close-ups of his face with no make-up?

Veiny, blotchy, old-before-his-time looking.

[phaseolus]

8. Maybe it's the Bob Guccione vaseline-on-the-lens trick...

Now what we REALLY need is for some Photoshop wizard to add a closeup of the pad so we can see what he's doodling. Maybe fark.com will have a contest for that, if we're lucky...

[MercutioATC]

10. As an amateur photographer...

...I can tell you that a close-up under unflattering light can bring out the worst in anybody.

This obviously isn't a close-up and the light minimizes facial details.


That still doesn't mean it's altered.

12. Okie dokie

Thanks for your expertise! :)

[MercutioATC]

No expertise required.

Anybody should be able to reach the same conclusion.


It's just a silly claim.

[Bluebear]

15. A-l-r-i-g-h-t

Cripes I'm sorry I posted the damn thing. :)

[MercutioATC]

17. I'm not attacking you, I'm just stating my opinion.

I didn't mean to offend.

My apologies if I did.

[Bluebear]

19. All good. Cheers!

:toast:

[FlaGranny]

29. Does the same sun not

reflect off Laura? :) She's even standing closer to the window -but she is at a different angle to it.

[BlueEyedSon]

9. No, that's the light from the LORD JAY-ZUSS!!!

PRAISED BE!!!

[MercutioATC]

13. I do appreciate the humor in your post.

However, it's just silly to accuse somebody of altering a picture because somebody has the sun shining on them.

[Bluebear]

14. Alright so I'm silly

I get it, I get it :)

[MercutioATC]

16. You're not silly (I don't know you well enough to make that claim)

I just don't see where your claim of alteration comes from. Since he's sitting in front of a window and the light/shadows don't seem to be out of place, the CLAIM seems silly.

[Bluebear]

18. I have to leave actually but....

When I said staged/airbrushed, I meant an either/or kind of thing. I am not 'claiming' anything. I think it looks artificial, whether through technology or design. If the President has nothing better to do than pose for set-up elaborate Hallmark card photoshoots, so be it.

later!

[MercutioATC]

20. Sorry, I didn't get that.

My fault.

:toast:

[Eagle_Eye]

7. Of course it's staged!

Notice the quality of the 'professional photography' reflects the quality the resident of the white house applies to the office of president. I guess the full time photographer doesn't have a UV polarizing filter in his bag.

[meegbear]

11. Heartless fucks marking Heart month

how ironic.

[Rapcw]

27. lol

[Bluebear]

32. I just saw that

PERFECT irony.

[bo44]

21. Soon there will be furry mold growing from the pile of turds n/t

[madrchsod]

22. completely staged

and taken with a kodak 110 instamatic and i think the photographer wanted to get the hell out of there.

[paineinthearse]

23. Maybe he's being raptured. n/t

[skypilot]

24. "Bush signs an Executive Order...

...requiring all American women to return to the kitchen and the bedroom while Laura looks on."

[No Exit]

25. Would make a good Xanax commercial...

she has that happy look on her face...

26. "Dear Hef,

Laura and I had a great time out at the Mansion last weekend. It was a shame to have to leave, but the Illuminati are harsh masters (just kidding, Hef! You know I love ya.)

Thanks for the silk pajamas. I always wanted to be you when I grew up! I'm not sure what I am supposed to do with the flavored jelly in the pocket, though (I'm an apple butter man; never developed the taste for jelly.)

I just fell in love with that 8-couple hot tub. Who knew that Tereza could hold her breath that long? I see why John married her. I think I can find a position for that woman in my administration.

Laura says "hi," and wants to know if you'll return her panties. She has others, but those are her favorite for steppin'out on a Saturday night. I can send one of the Secret Service agents around to pick them up, if that's OK. Wouldn't be the first time; remind me to tell you about the New Hellfire Club in Houston the next time I see you, OK?

Well, gotta go. Tell the girls I said "hi," and tell that Cuban fella that it was nothing personal. I thought he was cute, too, but that is not my scene.

Thanks for letting me rule the world! See you soon!

W"

I don't turn the other cheek.

28. No, February is Black History Month

A little redirection attempt here?

[ladjf]

30. Isn't that sweet.

[atommom]

31. Looks like a propaganda poster! I'm sure it was very carefully

composed, right down to the coordinating tie/flowers/Laura's suit.

[VOX]

33. "Mie nam es Geroje Buzh n eye kin wryte n spel gud!!"

Laura: "Very good Georgie, you're coming along nicely."

[truth2power]

34. I don't know why it's so difficult to believe that it's staged.

Look at that pic of him with the Great Seal forming a "halo" that's been kicking around here for ever so long.

Puhleeze! In the 12/21/04 edition of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the headline was "Bush says Iraqi vote on course." The picture they chose to accompany the article was the "halo" picture of the little rat-bastard. Here's the text, under the picture: "During a year-end news conference on Monday, President Bush expresses disappointment with the performance of Iraqi troops battling insurgents."

ON MONDAY??? Sorry, but that's a lie. It's a file photo from way back. And why just happen to select something that makes him look like Jeezus? Hmmm?? Nothing to do with the article.

Nah, Rove has been channeling Leni Rifenstahl.

Note: Sorry, I don't have that picture available to post.

edit> Here it is. http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:QEaiFMBkugAJ:perdurabo10.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent

I did something wrong. Only the link posts. <sigh>

[not systems]

35. No. That's God outside...

no doubt.

[Haymare22]

36. The "light" around him is all

FAUX. No way light shines that way in that situation. The light arrives on him before the window. Ms butthole has none.
This is fauxfauxfuax.

These people of course know nothing about LIGHT...or shadow, or shit.
