Another Phony Photo?

There is another photograph that many people think has been doctored. It shows William and Kate in a car, but Kate's face is not shown. Look at the background - blurry dark bricks on top and sharper lighter-colored bricks below.

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive."

A little extra below. Coincidentally, today's word from Word.A.Day is "deepfake."

"deepfake
PRONUNCIATION:
(DEEP-fayk)

MEANING:
noun: Digitally manipulated images, video, or audio that make someone appear to do or say something they did not.

ETYMOLOGY:
A combination of deep learning + fake. Coined by a user of the Reddit website. Earliest documented use: 2017."

Jerry, Jerry.........didn't you know?

That bulletproof glass is top quality stuff.
Build yourself some lens filters out of that, attach them to either end of your lenses (your choice), and see the immediate IQ improvement it will make in all your photos. 😁 😁

In addition to the brick color, the size of the mortar joints is different.

Great idea! The lens might break, but the glass will remain intact.

My question is "Who cares and why?" Pay more attention to ourselves than celebrities and we would all be better off. We really idolize the wrong people, in my humble opinion.

If you look more closely Kate is looking out the window so that you are looking at a side view. The bricks are a reflection of a chimney. And as pdsdville said WHO CARES?

Looks like a brick wall and a more distant amd therefore out of ficus brick building. IIRC this is a paparazzi shot nd therefore unlikely to be faked.
