How Did Bart Kamp Create The Lovelady Image?

[John Corbett]

But that's my point: Bart Kamp and John Armstrong can both be off on what I regard as CT wild goose chases,

Aren't they all?

   BUMP - Several excellent points made by Dan O'meara above. And Not a single peep in response. None!

Au contraire, Mr. Completely Insane Huge Gates Getaway Car Bogus Imposter Haygood Guy, I "peeped" repeatedly. Once the thread reached the 57th time of Blustering Buffoon calling everyone else stupid, pinko, jerkoff, etc., etc., I think most sane people bowed out. I said on another thread that conspiracy theorizing makes strange bedfellows, but you and Blustering Buffoon really do deserve each other. Blustering Buffoon's contributions to this thread never advanced beyond "I know nothing about photographic enhancement, but I don't see how Bart could have done this and I don't think he did" - making my "peeps" rather relevant, it seems to me. These were all after you claimed "And Not a single peep in response! None!" - oh, the shame, Mr. Completely Insane Huge Gates Getaway Car Bogus Imposter Haygood Guy.

I quote Bart:

"The bald patch is a total giveaway.

I used 4 different sharpening techniques in photoshop."

Whatever, carry on.

(It is kind of a total giveaway.)

In case everyone has forgotten, somewhere up above I report on my exchange with Bart Kamp in which he explains what he did. I don't know him well at all, but he's always seemed gentlemanly and approachable. I just used the contact form at the Prayer Man site and heard back by email a couple of days later. If you folks think Bart "faking" the images is an actual possibiliy - which I'm betting you don't - WHY DON'T YOU FOLLOW UP WITH BART? (We know why you don't: You know full-well this is nonsense, but you're having too much fun to let it go. That, and the fact that you're afraid to take your accusatons directly to Bart.) Prove me wrong and CONTACT BART!

I bumped the last one at least twice more.

  You don't realize that you're regarded as the Forum's "Wizard Of Oz". Lotta noise, but nobody pays any attention to You.

[Lance Payette]

But apparently you just did! 

You ain't gonna win any battles of wits with this puppy, Mr. Completely Insane Huge Gates Getaway Car Bogus Imposter Haygood Guy.

Just tweaking you, Royell, because I'm convinced that, deep down, you aren't serious. It is impossible that you're serious. Please, tell us you aren't serious.

[Royell Storing]

I've tried as much as I can, blindly messing about with sharpening, contrast, etc., to bring out the pattern in the shirt but to no avail:



The more I look at it, the more mystified I am by the Sprague picture that Kamp used to create his 'Lovelady' image.
Compared to the image I cropped from the incredibly high quality Crouch footage that Royell steered me too, the Sprague image is totally inferior.
Yet, out of nowhere, there is this unbelievable amount of detail in the Sprague image - but only in Lovelady's shirt!
This level of detail is not to be seen anywhere in the larger image.
What am I missing?

   Where are you at Bart Kamp? All you gotta do is answer the O'meara question above. Or, you can use an intermediary to answer the question like Gary Mack used to do. Your "work" product is being questioned. Your extended silence is akin to "taking the 5th".

He's over on the "Jacks" website where Tony Krome is protecting him with censorship and banning...

Perfect! It's Royell Logic, where everything is upside down and bassackwards. Two complete loons profess to be mystified by Bart's enhancement; the Voice of Reason (moi) asks Bart about this at his site where he invites contact; Bart is kind enough to respond by email; the VOR (moi) posts Bart's response; the two loons persist with their dark suspicions; the VOR (moi) suggests the two loons contact Bart themselves, posts his contact informatiion, and repeatedly bumps that suggestion; the two loons do not contact Bart because (1) hey, what would Bart know about how Bart enhanced the image anyway and (2) such contact would carry great risk of spoiling the two loons' loonish fun; BUT NOW that one loon's claim of "not a peep" has been exposed as ludicrous, said loon insists it is BART'S OBLIGATION to appear here and defend himself.

I tried to toss said loon a bone by saying I was just tweaking him, but let's be honest: he really is COMPLETELY INSANE Huge Gates Getaway Car One Glove Bogus Imposter Haygood Bart Faked Shelley and Lovelady Guy. Despite my decades of activity on weirdness forums where I thought I'd pretty much seen it all, the JFKA does seem to attract a unique species of nutcase. Why is that, I wonder?
