It's not on the arm. It's the shadow of the arm on the shirt.

There's tons more.

The photo was not magically taken on its own. The "smoking thumb" doesn't seem like much if a revelation.

There's a high-res version of the photo floating around, but it's cropped. If somebody would release the uncropped version, they might be able to get a partial print.

This was all hashed-out by experts in the field with decades of experience back when the photo of a photo first emerged.

1) Not MY claims.

2) The 'photo' is reported to have been taken 21 years ago.

3) The 'photo' was released 3? years ago.


I didn't retain anything from that far back, but a quick google results in this guy, who has decades of experience, does a quick synopsis, and he links the various Res published pics at that time, and some references for photo forensics:

From memory, there's others with MUCH more detail, but then again, I'm not your intern.

Couldn't remember, but when I just now did the quick google for 'Celerity', I noticed a bunch of 2019 release dates.

Not the source, merely where he posted it. He did a decent short synopsis of what's been confirmed by experts.

It's some spammer selling software and advertising his photoshop skills and peddling "my evidence of why this photo is fake." But go on with your conspiracy theories.

I know you can see the reflection of the flash in the window. I figured it was one of those cheap little cameras.

Picture this:

Hayward WI, 1975. I’m 11 years old. The family is on its annual fishing trip in northern WI. The folks decided to take a tour of Al Capone’s (supposed) hideout in a nearby town. They advertised the place was where Capone would lie low when the heat was too high in Chicago.

We toured a couple of run down buildings. This is the lodge where Al and his cronies would plan their next moves. Look through the dirty garage window, that was Capone’s car. And on and on.

A cat passed the small tour group we were in. My dad, without missing a beat, “Hey look, there’s Al Capone’s cat”. Earned him a few chuckles from other members of the group, and a dirty look from the tour guide.
