Game over, Angelus
You just proved what i had been saying all along - you're a fraud. It's just your luck that i'm a photographer, which pretty much makes me an expert in photographs, photo cameras and digital image editing tools.
The pics are fake. Just to be on the safe side, i asked a few dozen other experts to confirm, and they came to the same conclusion.
SHOE PIC: The picture of the shoes was taken with a photo camera. It is a real picture, and so are the objects shown in it. However, 99% of the members here could easily go to the bank, withdraw $1000 and do the same. Whether or not those shoes cost $400 is debatable. They could be $75. More likely than not, this photo isn't even yours and came from Google or Flickr. Regardless, even if you did take it, it proves absolutely nothing.
GF PIC: This is the real kicker.
The photo itself (not the writing) is real, but was taken with a different camera than the first one. In fact, it was taken with a webcam, not a digicam like the first photo. The resolution is different, so is the quality. The letters "sosuave.com" were edited in with Photoshop's brush tool. If anyone here has any doubts, i could create a copy of this image with "hellokitty.com" instead of "sosuave.com" and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. So yea, the writing is fake. Here are the 10: responses, ALL OF THEM SAYING THE PICS ARE FAKE:
NOTE: On the board, i posted the gf pic first and the shoe pic second, which is why the gf pic is referred to as the "first pic."
first one [gf pic] is fake
the lettering is fake, it wouldnt be that clearly visible
top one [gf pic] is photoshopped in...the shadows would cover the letters making them much harder to read
the top one [gf pic] looks like a crappy mspaint
First one [gf pic] was taken, then someone wrote the letters in probably with a tablet. It's a really ****ty watermark I'm sure...
i'm thinking different camera. The second pic [shoe pic] was taken with an Ixus and the first pic has no EXIF data. First pic is 96dpi and the second is
180dpi
writing is obviously chopped, dunno about it being the same camera
second pic [shoe pic] taken with a Canon Digital IXUS IIs (also was taken 7/31/2006 at 11:40AM)
1st one [gf pic], yea deff a scan

SCREENSHOTS: You screwed up pretty bad here. These pics weren't even taken on the same machine. The machine used for the Forex pic has Windowblinds installed (the top toolbar isn't blue), the second pic is just the standard Win XP theme. Now, you claimed to have your broadband and Forex on one machine, so this is now clearly a lie. Also, one machine has the taskbar set to auto-hide and the other doesn't. The Primus pic is yours, the other obviously isn't. You just edited your name in there, just like you did with the letters "sosuave.com" on the gf pic. FAKE!
So yea, you just proved what i had been saying all along. You're a fraud. Good game, better luck next time.
