Even though he was actually here, seems that Stevie Harper couldn't find time in his tightly scripted appearance at the municipalities conference to actually get some real live photos taken in historic St. John's.
Instead we get this crap courtesy of photoshop and the geeks who maintain the Connie website. (BTW - every website is maintained by a geek. Connie ones just have to wear ties and follow a dress code straight from Bob Jones University).
Take stock picture of St. John's.
Take stock shot of Chief Connie Stiff.
Lay one on other.
Poof.
Job done.
Only for people who have never been here.
For one thing, the colours and shadows are different between the two shots. The edge around Harper is too sharp.
For another thing, his hair isn't mussed. Unless the guy is wearing a helmet, you just can't go to Signal Hill without there being a Force 3 gale.
For another thing, I am trying to figure out how tall this dude is. Given the angle on this shot, Harper must be floating in mid-air. The original shot may have been taken on a crane.
Doctor a tape. Doctor a photo. Same thing.
