The photo above is Obama’s alleged mother at about age two with mother and father Madelyn and Stanley Dunham circa 1944. Notice that Stanley Ann’s head is about the same size as her "parents’" heads and is out of proportion with the rest of her body.

Contrasting shadows, skin tones, and objects that are intentionally obscured are revealed by modifying various light aspects of this computerized collage of three separate photos. All three subjects demonstrate differing focal points derived from a single camera and the lighting casts opposing shadows typically found in such fabrications.

All three subjects’ eyes are focused in different directions, further indicating that each subject was photographed in different settings at different times.

Stanley’s overall appearance is gray and outside the light parameters of the rest of the photo. Notice how his tie casts a dark shadow behind his tie, indicating the light is shining from the left side of the photo. However, the right side of his face (that which faces the direction of the light) is obscured within a shadow. If the shadow was created by the light approaching from the left, his tie, his shirt, and his chin would be obscured by his daughter’s head. But it is not being obscured by her head, evidenced by the singular shadow behind the tie. Therefore, the tie’s shadow is foreign to any lighting effects present in the overall portrait, disqualifying Stanley Armour’s image.

The photo at left is purported to be Obama on a bench in Central Park South, New York City, with grandparents, Stanley and Madelyn Dunham.

Stanley Dunham reportedly died on February 8, 1992, so he could not have been in a photo which simultaneously includes Obama’s wedding ring, obtained (and worn) on or about October 18, 1992. If this is a genuine photo taken in 1983, Obama would have actually been wearing his wedding ring prematurely—by 9 and 1/2 years.

The most glaring anomaly is the fact that his grandfather appears to have three arms. Look closely at his left shoulder. His arm is hidden but his shoulder is in the "down" position—yet there is a hand patting Obama’s shoulder.

A closer examination reveals that even the park bench is fraudulent. The photo appears to have been compiled in layers and in the following order: the bench, Stanley Dunham, Barack Obama, Madelyn Dunham, Stanley Dunham’s suit jacket—entire left side, and Madelyn Dunham’s suit jacket — entire right side.

The background, if in the actual setting of Central Park South, should have water on the other side of the wall nearest the bench—not trees. A closer look reveals two walls, the first near the base of the bench, and the second behind that wall. As in the previous set of photos, the subjects are not looking at the same photographer because there wasn’t just one photographer—there were at least three, and most likely, six. The alteration/reinsertion of clothing is most visible along Stanley’s left lapel and Madelyn’s buttonhole side of her suit jacket, which is, abnormally, a straight line. The buttonholes are aligned, but the right-side lapel is definitely smaller than the left lapel, and so, it is out of proportion. (Nicoloff discusses many more anomalies with this photo in the full length analysis which include the park bench and Obama’s clothes and a "cropped-in" leg).

In order to perpetuate the lie that Obama’s father was from Kenya, Obama’s image was inserted into the photo at right.

Obama and all other subjects have been compiled into this photo to give the fraudulent representation of a family gathering. Obama’s hands appear to be resting on the shoulders of his half-sister Auma and his grandmother Kezia. One can see his cupped hands do not look natural—especially his right thumb—and are merely superimposed to look like they are really there. The hand of Abongo (Roy) Obama, his so-called step-brother, rests on Obama’s shoulder, while what would be the same hand is holding the hand of an unknown woman. Enlargement reveals that Abongo’s right hand has been altered (masked) by photographic editing, showing a large, square pixel in place of the hand.

An unknown individual (back row, 2nd from the right) is wearing dark clothes intended to obfuscate the compiled abnormalities which cannot be hidden by other means. The unknown individual (back row, far right) next to him is sporting two-toned trousers, the left leg being powder blue, and the right leg being dark purple. Even the trousers’ inseam on the left leg is purple and is inconsistent with the lack of natural shadows within the entire picture. Nevertheless, that individual’s right shoe remains white, while the color of his right pant leg has turned purple.

In summation

On this page are just four of nine photos that Nicoloff analyzed in Photoshop. Three of five remaining photos not shown here were of Obama during his years at Punahou High School. What is interesting, beyond the numerous anomalies consistent with the other historical Obama photos, is the timing of their public release. According to Nicoloff, "The....Punahou school photos [were] published within three hours of Dr. Orly Taitz’ amended complaint with the U.S. Supreme Court. The photos mysteriously appeared on the huffingtonpost.com web site, and the time reference within each photo demonstrates both the times and dates of each photo’s release. Dr. Taitz referenced her filing time as "2:30 p.m." These photos have an imbedded time stamp of "5:14:04 p.m." on the day that Dr. Taitz filed her amended complaint."

As you look at the photos on this page and a few more that were published in the Sept. and October, 2008 editions of The IO, some of the anomalies become obvious to the naked eye when you look past the presumption of their authenticity. But the "forensic" proof comes when you apply the tools in Photoshop to see how differently the various components of the composite photos behave. Such electronic "stress tests" reveal that components were applied in different "layers," that shadows are being cast in a variety of directions and that certain features "pixilate" when others in proximity do not (which indicates retouching).

Nicoloff closes his analysis by stating, "there remains no doubt, now, that the photographic biography of Barack Hussein Muhammed Obama, Jr., is as great a fiction as his own autobiographical accounts, whether in book, audio, video, online, or print-media format. Although these photos do not conclusively prove where Obama or his family were at any given point in time, they do prove where he—and they—were not.
