| PHOTO 1 |
In interpreting photos, you have to think about what the photo is saying-- and then wonder if it was the photographers's intention or not. Given the subterfuge going on in cryonics and in Venturism, I have to consider that the following are intended by the author of the photos, Josh Schisler. I could be wrong.... but maybe I'm right.
Here, on the left, (PHOTO 1) I see something very strange that did not strike me at first. I can stare at a photo like this over time and gradually the "meaning of the picture" emerges. In this case, the grand canyon is behind Josh and Kim-- either for real or photoshopped in. It doesn't matter. What is significant is that Josh's hand is "almost" on Kim's shoulder but not quite.... as if he's releasing his hold on her shoulder which would allow her to fall backwards into the gorge-- in this case a metaphor for death or cryopreservation. What an odd photo to post. Given today's digital cameras, certainly, Josh could have found a better "pose" to post on the net. It's as if Josh himself is taking the photo with his left hand.... but why would he release Kim unless this was in intentional metaphorical pose meant to convey a message. Note Kim doesn't have any clothes on underneath the gray zip jacket. How does that make sense?

Here (Photo 2) we see Kim making a face as if she is somewhat horrified or disgusted and yet the other girl is looking quite gleeful. How does this photo make sense? What is the gray sweatshirt wrapped around the other girl's neck? It's not even worn in the typical yuppie style. How does Kim's pose even make sense-- is she in a chair or a couch? Or has this entire scene been photoshopped-- thus explaing why it makes no sense as a composition either posed or spontanous.

| PHOTO 3 |
Look at Kim's head here. (Photo 3) I can understand a cat on a shoulder... but here the cat looked particularly large. How does Kim's head go so far down the front of her body? With a cat on one's shoulders, I can understand leaning the head forward but there seems to be something wrong with this photo. And look at Kim "emaciated" right wrist. I can understand a hand dangling from a wrist but Kim's wrist looks twisted here. Her whole body looks contorted, from the awkward position of the head to the emaciated "death look" of the wrist-- perhaps another photoshopped metaphor for an entirely fake cryopreservation.

| Photo 4 |
Finally, This group photo (photo 4) with two couples looks fine until I start examining it more carefully. Kim's top is again off to one side, as it is in all the poses of Aaron's wife. It looks like a spontaneous fun shot. But then look at the space between the girl in the white dress and Josh. That space should be black as is the rest of the blackness behind the group. But it's gray. How can it be gray... like the colour of the tie of the guy on the right? Shouldn't his arm be around the girl in the white dress so that his hand would appear around her waist? His hand would have to be down, flat against her buttocks rather than grabbing her waist. Furthermore, why is the entire background black? Where are they that that would occur? It almost looks like the group was cut out of another picture and pasted up on a new black background in a photoshop program.

| Photo 5 |
Of all the photos above that strike me as odd, the weirdest one is that of the cat on Kim's shoulder. But even stranger than the head-lower-than-normal or the larger-than-life cat, is the twisted wrist on the left, enlarged. (Photo 5-- enlargement of part of photo 3) This makes no visual sense. The top of her arm, from the wrist, suddenly become the midsection of the arm with the top becoming the side... evidence again of a photoshop poorly done.
