Franchise

I think it’s a rip-off. But that’s just me. The whole Crime Scene Unit franchise. Make believe, has to be. Okay, here, go look at this Gemini, then look at his glasses, then realize that, according to what I watched on TV? It’s possible to blow up the image reflected in his glasses and get a shot of my face.

As an exercise? I tried that. And I was working from 10 Megapixel raw (RAW) image. Which, given the context of the photo, is even funnier. But that’s not the point.

Can’t be done. I’m just saying, that stuff on TV? Make believe. Plausible, coherent and wrong.

    Oh, no, say it ain’t so! I believe every single thing those darlin’ people say. ‘Specially if they looks serius. Isn’t that why we elect actors to high public office? Because the line between real and fake is blurred? We’re given a believable fantasy and we come to take it as reality. Lots of examples in history, but never before backed by awesome technology.
