Wildflower Posted April 28, 2009 Report Posted April 28, 2009 Has anyone seen this? What do you think? The Joseph Smith photo mystery - ABC 4.comThe best view is on this link, if you click on the photo at entry 4:A true photographic image of Joseph Smith Jr.This looks real to me. If so, how exciting is this? Quote
Wingnut Posted April 28, 2009 Report Posted April 28, 2009 Seriously? How many times do we have to start a new thread on this? Quote
Wildflower Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Posted April 28, 2009 Sorry, I really don't spend much time on these forums! I just came across that and was surprised. I was curious to find out what others know - or think about it, and that's why I posted it. I wish something more substantial than this would come out of the woodwork. I have been thinking lately how weird it is that we just don't have photos of Joseph Smith. There has to be more than this out there. Obviously you know more about this than I do - my guess by your response is that this has been going around for a while and is not the real thing Quote
Maureen Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 Of course this photo is familiar but I don't remember it being talked about recently. It was the other un-known person photo that had been mentioned on this forum a few months back. Quote

bytor2112 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 Hmmm......it looks like the alleged daguerrotype.......which is alleged to be a photograph of a painting. It fits the image I have in my mind of Joseph though. Quote
Wildflower Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Posted April 29, 2009 I have seen those photos before, but this one seems different. Just click on the photo that's in my second link so you can see the enlarged version. Look at the nose - it's slightly crooked. The face looks more real. The earlier photo is almost exactly like this one except that it was obviously retouched. Not that this one isn't - I mean, it is a bit fuzzy and it also could have been altered with photoshop! Quote
Hemidakota Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 If you wish to know what the man looked like, why not ask? I don't get people who rather subjected themselves to the world and the whims of others. Quote
