You don't see the turban clad face with what looks to be a gun?


It looks more like a GI Helmet than a turban. Are you posting this from Colorado by any chance?

So in all seriousness, would you purchase this back drop as a business investment? That is the whole point of this thread. Not one thing about religion, gun control, children or ghosts


First, the company is showing the photo with lots of depth of field to "sell" the background. Any good photographer would move the subject forward, open up a stop or two and the background would have the soft cloud effect it is intended to have. If you shoot your portraits to show a sharply detailed background- shame on you. Go back to portrait 101, lesson 1.

Has anyone noticed anything like this from a reputable company? i received this in an e mail this morning. I was horrified at what i saw. The image to the right of the girl stood out to me right away. I have purchased product from this company in the past, but i probably will no longer. To think that this is what they are putting out as advertisement, what is on all the other back drops?


I think you're looking too hard. You will see what you want to see.

Sorry I guess I don't understand. I find things like this in my floor tile all the time.


Me too Jimmy! I have done some actual paintings based on images from the bathroom tile! Everyone sees faces. It is what makes us human. Recognition of someone's face is important to us in order for us to know who we are seeing. Only humans have so much diversity in face and expression. Other animals are recognizable to their groups but they do not have the diversity of color, shape, expression that humans do. I would just make the background less focused. I do see the ghost and I see a cat and several other things. People with wide imagination always do.

This is like those stories from a remote village in Mexico where someone saw the face of the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich. The Rohrscheib phenomenon. Everyone knows the Blessed Virgin was Jewish and would never appear on a sandwich without corned beef.

Ever hear the expression "Making a mountain out of a mole hill?" With a vivid imagination you might see a couple of blobs that sort of resemble eyes if that's what you want to see.

If you look closely in the bottom right corner of the photo, and after a couple of Sam Adams Winter Lagers,
you can see a monster eating a fig, or is that a fig attacking a monster, or....

Dear admin

I have seen many come and go from this website in the years i have been a member. Some were legitimately attacked by these people that are members. I have seen topics moved, and members removed. I not once claimed any religious views, political views, or any other............... But i have been attacked mentally, in public, and on screen. All i asked is if you have seen anything like this, and would you put your logo on this? I challenge you to put these people in their place and stop the deflamtiion of character that is taking place by the people on this website who apparently have no communication skills.
