Jack,
Question, are either of these two guys 'offical NASA spokespersons', capable of speaking to and of NASA photo library? I'm not sure about Evan, hell he may be a pilot or a baggage handler, who knows -- this Heagney from San Mateo (a nice place, I lived there for 10 years, grew up 10 miles north of there) he collects and sells hubcaps, I expect he's a amateur photg at best - I'd questioning anyone sanity that cruises Hwy 101 looking for hubcaps -- so my question is: why bother with them?
They certainly don't know the difference between EVIDENCE and a STUDY... For what its worth I wouldn't bother answering ANYTHING from those camps...

LOL! I leave the trolling of 101 for hubcaps to CalTrans and the people helping with the adopt-a-highway plan. As for my photography skills, yeah, I'm an amatuer when it comes to photography. That doesn't mean I am stupid. When someone tells me that it is impossible to take a photo a certain way, I am quite capable of testing that assertion empirically to determine if it is true. When someone tells me that a piece of something in a photograph shouldn't be there, and that the explanation given for what it is is "ludicrous", but does nothing to actually prove what the piece actually is, that doesn't mean I have to believe him simply because he has claimed he's an expert in analyzing pictures. Particularly when I can do a simple google search and determine that the official explanation for what it is is very logical.
But let's flip this around for a second, shall we? If Mr. White is the expert he claims to be, then how is it I, amateur that I am, am able to take a picture that he claims is impossible to take on two different grounds?
What do you mean the difference between evidence and a study? Mr. White uses his "studies" AS evidence!
