Sean Murphy's research deserves more

[Lauren Johnson]

Look at the photo Bob. He's ahead of Lovelady in the portal. That's why the sun is illuminating his hand.

OK, I understand what you are getting at and it makes no sense. PM may be holding a bright object or his hand is in the sun or both, however only his hand is in the sun if at all. Lovelady's entire body is in the sun. Ergo, PM is mostly in the shade.

Lauren, you don't seem to understand what is being argued here. You admitted his hand was in the sun. That is also what I am saying. I assure you, if you analyze the photo, Prayer Man will be in a position slightly forward of Lovelady, as his hand being in the sun evidences. I was never saying Prayer Man wasn't in the shade. I don't know where you got that from.

If you read my argument more closely you will see I was specifically saying Prayer Man is standing slightly more forward to the south than Lovelady in the illuminated hand shot. This is evidenced by the fact he has his hand brightened by the sun. There's another example of this same photo in the Education Forum that I can't find. It makes it even clearer. The reason Lovelady is in more sun than Prayer Man is because of the sun angle in the portal. You can see this proven by the vertical shade line down Lovelady's torso. The rest of what I wrote then follows.

Albert, I am hoping that one of the photo guys will come along and enlighten the situation.

In the meantime, you strenuously argue against Oswald being outside on the front steps. I have agreed with this position until the Sean Murphy thread started up and I started looking into it. To me, it's very important.

Okay, you don't buy it. But what is at stake here? It is something important or else you would say, "Whatever. Nothing changes, really."
