Do you actually take any pictures of your own,? even your avatar is suspect.

For sure. We can all produce similar images and claim that the property was modified. If you want to improve your photography you should probably buy a bridge camera to nowhere and consider 'making' your own photographs.

If this was truly your image then you should have other images of the older property configuration, with full Exif data of course. Now we know that Exif data can easily be faked if one has the tools and knowledge, but having related images is much harder to do. You haven't even supplied Exif data of any kind yet, let alone something that would either support your claims or survive scrutiny. See below for an example of EXIF data - spurious of course.

Can you explain why we should believe you in this situation?

What I'd like to know is why did you replace that nice modern patio door in the first photo with the old door in need of painting in the second photo?

Man, I don't know how I went form being a hobby photographer to the scourge of UHH but everything I've said and posted is true. As I stated at the beginning of this thread I might be up to the level of an advanced intermediate photographer but nothing more. I am glad that others seem to have a more favorable opinion of my photographs than I do but it doesn't change anything about my skill level. I have a friend who does some professional photography that is much better than me and I have two even better than that.

I am looking for more proof that that is my picture but I was just upstairs going through our family pictures and I haven't found it. We have thousands and thousands of pictures from everyone in the family so going through them one at a time is a daunting task.

As it is this photograph is 15 years old. The room we were in was dark and I crawled into my bedroom to get a camera and then crawled on my belly back into the living room and took the shot. There are no others. This as it. However, if she has them I'll assume that I accidentally saved the picture and years later didn't realize it. However, I edited this picture (actually my daughter did) and the original was very dark. I don't know why anyone would have ever posted the original online. Long before I got interested in photography I started saving pictures by others that I liked on my computer so it's possible that I got them mixed up but that doesn't seem likely. I remember everything about this shot. I was so worried that the deer would see me and run away.

If somebody knows Marilyn please ask her if she will post any pictures she has form this shot that are before and after. If it turns out that it is her picture I will gladly apologize and take down that picture.

I found my picture of Charlie the Cat but it is stuck in a photo album. As soon as I can figure out how to get it unstuck without tearing it up I will post it.

To Brian,
it seems you have messed with the wrong Bunch of "HONEST" photographers, Whom happen to be my friends. You have not only stolen my deer photo and claimed it as your own, but gone as far as to strip my EXIF from it and used your own.
You're a liar and Thief from the word Go and been exposed as such.
I think if you had done this unconsciously it would had been forgiven, but you've chosen to pursue being the copyright owner.

I have news for you- you better apologize and move on to a different site because i have a series of photos snapped one right after another of the deer and my pet. Can you say as much?
No you can't and you can't even offer proof of such. You've been exposed- for what you are.

Has it got Bars on the window, because thats where your heading with your actions.

You are still struggling. This picture has clearly been misappropriated previously, but for now all you have are claims and no evidence. It is not convincing, as the French say: J'Accuse.

If you want to resolve this you know how to contact Marilyn by PM, you are clearly smart enough to do that.

So, you have been accused and the current evidence is fairly over whelming. You, so far, have none that is credible. If it were me I'd sue you, it's very easy to find where you live and have you served. Then the judges would expect a little more rigor in your defense. There are many inconsistencies in your story. Perhaps there is another Brian Kelly near Nashville with a suitably aged daughter, but why don't you step up to the plate and provide some actual evidence that passes muster if indeed you are innocent?

I suggest you take up another hobby, your credibility here is over. You are not the first to try this garbage, they did not succeed either.

I respectfully disagree with your coment about his avatar. IMHO, it looks exactly like him - a despicable, thieving moron!

bkellyusa Loc: Nashville, TN

To everybody concerned it turns out I am going to have to beg forgiveness on this issue. I talked to my daughter about this and she pointed out that the picture I took had only one deer in it. Wherever I originally got this photo it was very dark and I raised the exposure in Elements. At the time I didn't remember the second deer either but I just assumed that it was under-exposed enough for me not to realize it. I argued about that as well but it was game over when she pointed out that the cat in the picture is not Charlie. It looks like Charlie but his left leg had white sock and this cat has an all white left leg. She also pointed out that our windows seals were never white originally but I don't know that for sure. It's a log and stone home so it seems likely she is right. She's a photographer and I am am sure she sees the details better than me.

I don't know if anyone will believe me but one thing I will say for sure is that I never made this mistake willfully. Though I've damaged my reputation here I'd like to stay as a member of this group but if others disagree I will gladly leave.

Other than that whoever knows her tell Marlynn I apologize and will do it personally by phone or email. Tell her also that her picture is lovely.

Atta Girl, Mare! This guy is pond scum, but no respectable pond will have him.

The reason that you can't find proof is that THERE IS NO PROOF. It is NOT your image.

colo43 Loc: Eastern Plains of Colorado

i am not buying his story either. The changing of the EXIF was enough to tell me he was not sincere.
Plus the fact that the water mark was removed..
Honest people don't do things like this.

i sincerely wish he would drop out and give us all piece of mind that he won't be doing this to others in our group.
