Ah OK - I see that shape now. Didn’t see it before.
You are the only one that has said that. Yet you want to accuse AP of (maybe) doctoring the photo. Very interesting.
They do hate her, don’t they. I’m not a big fan of the terminator movies, but for some reason she reminds me of Sarah Connor from those movies.
Yes, the earrings look like the hammer-and-sickle.
Actually her earring looks more like a cute little Husky pup than anything commie, as it were ... then again, I've been known to misread clear signs of world globalization conspiracy theories, such as the eyeball-in-the-pyramid thingie on a dollar bill ....
Where is that tin-foil hat guy on the radio picture when ya need it?
/grin
I saw a sled dog, since they are into that kinda thing.
ImageMagick is a really great program, I batch process photo’s with it on an almost daily basis. Could not maintain 37,000 website images plus thumbnails without it.
Use it command line, very fast.

Is that the worst OP can do?
It's obviously a piece of jewelry that the native Americans in Alaska carve for the tourist shops. It looks like whalebone was used. It certainly is just a plain doggie pup. Perhaps she and Todd received it as a gift.
If it were the hammer and sickle, how many of these earrings would be sold by the Eskimos......and why would Sarah wear them at all.
This is beyond absurd.

Not too far removed, sled dogs and wolves. Alaska connection either way.
I don’t think so, if you zoom in tight, you can see blood vessel details, looks like someone who hasn’t had enough sleep.. ie, a real person.
Well if it isn't FR's one-man Fairness Doctrine.
Hi, Truman. Still doing your best to uphold the MurryMom tradition in her unlamented absence, I see.

I’m using a circa 2000 RCA WebTV Plus on 52,000 connection speed dialup Optimum fiberoptic cable Voice/phone from a Motorola modem
ImageMagick is my main image modification toolsite (for cropping, compositing, FX, resizing, text, etc.) as WebTV does not use software programs except at MSN in SoCal where that auto update and kept most of my memory
GIFworks can be handy for some things that I-M cannot always do quickly without quirks - like adding text to some animated images
Grabbing images is done at online toolsites - no right-click with WebTV and no hard drive storage
potlatch has over 13,000 images by now
“You cannot do that with just a WebTV!”
Y’all have to be kidding, it is a dog (wolf?)
If you see a hammer and sickle, that is your own mind constructing the image, which deems the question as to why.
bingo.
for everyone else the AP photo workflow is generally as follows:
The photographer will burst fire 4 or 5 frames in under a second during interesting moments, shoot about a quarter through a press conference/speech, leave, upload photos onto a laptop, batch process (size, color profile conversion, etc), batch caption, and then upload a tight edit of his take onto the AP servers/wire. All this is done very quickly, because most AP shooters are competing with Reuters and Getty/AFP to get their photos across the wire first. No time for miniscule photoshop adjustments...
The earring looks like a little dog to me.
I cannot imagine using WebTV for anything like that.
I dislike TV in general, watch very little. My wife is a TV addict. But the programming is so bad this past year that she is reduced to watching the cooking programs. And she does not even like to cook. I cook as much as she does.
We get TV by satellite, lots of channels, but not much of interest for me. At one time I read a lot, have rather large library, but for past 10 years have been too busy with work and the computer aspect of that I have not time to read.
Have been a Ham operator since 1976, but that has suffered also. Still occasionally active, but not often.

TF
