The January 2006 issue of Vanity Fair includes the magazine's 2005 Best of the Best -- "Heroes! Winners! Guilty Pleasures!" -- feature. Among those honored are the cast of ABC's "Lost," chosen as "Best Find"; the cast of FX's "Nip/Tuck," chosen as "Best Lift"; and aging rockers Sir Bob Geldof and Bono, chosen as "Best Ambassadors." But the choice that catches the eye -- and the breath -- is in the "Best Stand" category. In a two-page spread, winner Cindy Sheehan is photographed lying full length in the grass at her son Casey's grave at the Vacaville-Elimira Cemetery in Vacaville, California:
Here is another picture Zac's Mom posted
Notice the road in the back ground
Also notice the grave stones in the background don't match up .. different size, different color stone and there are more of them
It still doesn't look like she's really laying there. It looks like someone took a pair of scissors to another picture and pasted it on top of a shot of the graveyard. I wish we had a higher-resolution copy of this picture, but I don't intend to support Vanity Sneer in order to get one.
I know folk like to super-sleuth on FR, but you're making an assumption that camera is facing the same direction in all the photos. It's not. In the photo where she is sitting, she is sitting at the head of his grave site, facing it. You can see her sitting there (her legs) in the close up also. All three photos are taken from different angles and should not show the same background.
There's a lot wrong with the picture, but her son is really dead, and there is really a gravesite.
To have a picture--posed and in such a magazine, is nothing less than perverted. A perversion of her son's sacrifice and his heroism.
I'll have to search for the article that mentioned it .. but I believe has something to do with the reason he died .. fighting in Iraq
It's the glow on her face that give it away as enhanced.... I'm with you on that.
Eh - don't bother, it doesn't really matter to me why :~\
What do you think about the big set of flowers up against the tombstone? One would think that either they would be completely in the shadow or that a shadow of whatever is lighting them so amazingly would be clearly visible behind them.
Mo, the two older pics seem to be taken in different directions, look different.
I would think it's just an issue of perspective but...
What if Cindy was placed at a different grave with a better background, more "photographic"
That would be something!
Dog, post 19 is gone. What'd he say?
"Why Ringo, you look like someone just walked over your grave."
She's milked her brave son enough for her personal fame and fortune, at least she could show some respect and keep off his grave.
The marker in that photo is a temporary marker. Every funeral home supplies these free. (At least they did back when I was burying people frequently.)
Well, Crazy Cindy doesn't have the face or body for a Demi Moore-style pregnant or nude-with-body-paint sensational cover, so she had to settle for this to garner some more publicity for herself.
BTW, that spread is 'shopped big time....others mentioned some stuff, note the son's flower shadow out of alignment.
I realize they are taken in different direction ... but the ones that Zac's mom posted .. even with the with different angles don't match up in the background
What if Cindy was placed at a different grave with a better background, more "photographic"
That is very possible
Sarge, I've been about three feet from her,"Hustler is definitely out of the question....she is so "but ugly", she's a cross between an ugly boy, and an old dike! When I was in Crawford last August, I was able to sneak in close enough to her pathetic circus, to get a few choice words in... I still managed to act like a "lady",but it took all of my self control. I will never forget how she behaved toward one of our young, pregnant military widows,just weeks later in Wash D.C.when the "You don't speak for me Cindy tour" pro-troops rally took place. Her words to this young widow went something like: "Because of George W. Bush,you're baby will never have a father..." Not only a media whore, she is a selfish psycho, without a heart, and I'd better not ever find myself as close as three ft. to her again, after what she said to that precious young widow!!!{And she was honored in a magazine,go figure....}
