All I know is that first, the background in the picture is not in Yakima. Second, my mother-in-law had both Patterson and Gimlin as students in Yakima years ago. When I ask her if they are the type of people to pull off a prank like this she simply says “…no, they were both good students and I could not see either of them doing something like that.” What ever happened to taking ones “character” into account.

Enough already! No amount of “exposure” completely changes “black” to “white” in regards to the checkers….come on people! You’re better than this!

Really, we are still talking about MK Davis. He is a fruit loop. He is basing his research on wild myth, and we as cryptoresearchers should not even give him the time of day. But since we have we now have to defend our research, and valid researchers. So, yes I would say it is the same shirt, in the same place, just shot on a separate camera, or roll. Indeed it may be the next day. The ground appears to be wet, and he looks a little more disheveled, but they are in the back country, so that is to be expected. MK get a life, and stop trying to create wild fantasies, and do your own research.

the collar of the shirt looks identical, buttoned and unbuttoned. It sits at the same angle with the same pattern. The colors look different perhaps because they are different rolls. And don’t forget- these guys are CAMPING. If you change your clothes daily when camping, then you are not a true outdoorsman. Do you think they worry about that?

It’s likely the same shirt, shot on different roll but at the same time as the first image(s). However, in that third shot at the bottom (the reddish hued image), the quality is poorer and there is some color-shifting that has occurred in the chemicals due to age or poor processing.

Actually, the funny thing is this:

First photos show checkered shirt – white “checkers” inside dark lines…

Last photo shows checkered shirt – dark “checkers” inside white lines…

Hey dumbness, those are two DIFFERENT shirts! This is EXACTLY what I harp on when I rant about substandard research….

One further observation; if MK Davis can’t tell that the coat is unbuttoned in all of the photos, then his powers of observation are seriously compromised. It calls into serious question his ability to see anything at all in any photographic medium. Much less the grainy and blurry photos and screen captures which he usually proclaims as ‘proving’ his current fantasy.
It really is a shame; Davis did do good work once. But this isn’t part of it.

I have heard of “grasping at straws” but MK Davis is raising it to a whole new art form. Anybody who spends time in the outdoors knows that even if going out for only a couple of days about the only change of clothes you will take is extra underwear and socks. This pretty much applies even if you’re going to spend the night in a motel. If you work out of a base camp you might take more because you will be not only out longer but will probably have pack horses/mules to carry your supplies. If you’re the pack animal you take as little extra in the way of clothes as possible; food, water and shelter are much more important.

As to the jacket being buttoned and unbuttoned, I agree it is unbuttoned in all the pictures. I haven’t seen a jacket of any kind that won’t usually be closed when your arms are raised and opened when you lower them. The reason is most people will spread their arms as they lower them which will pull the coat open.

Ok, this comment is rather non-sequitur, but every time I see those pictures I am reminded of that bit from “Alice’s Restaurant”, where Guthrie talks about “The 27 8 x 10 colored glossy photographs, with circles and arrows, and a paragraph on the back of each one, explaining what each one was, to be used as evidence against us…”

I made the same observation as Kimble.
