Agree with you V. I think the Jeff shot is low quality, but a real shot just the same. Actually, whoever he is, he looks really good. As for Joey, I'll have to go back and look at that one.
OK, yeah Joe's chair in the first pic is an old battleaxe type E&J. However, it could be possible that his was in the shop and he was using a loaner chair? Hmmmm, interesting.

Actually I remember seeing that Jeff pic - and some more of the same guy on the same bike - already somewhere on the net in better quality (maybe that was photoshoped...). If I'm not mistaken on a handbikeing site. About the Joey caracter I just thought "Well... Not my type - but as I can see he is taken already, so no problem..." And I can tell you that those kind of ugly chaires are still widely used around here (my collegue I mentioned here somewhere uses the same - in another colour)... For some people they are the only affordable ones... Anyway - if they sent their pics to Lee they did it for a reason: presumably to please us, devos. We should simply say "Thank you!" and don't dig too deep to reveal their motivations. And of course if they are "genuine" we might just have made some enemies for the "devo-case". So: "Thank you, guys!" And of course big thanks to all of you, who contributed.

The Joey and Jeff pic's I think are real or at least not edited.. What I would be likely to ask is are they the people who posted them? The Jeff pic's look like advertisements, all of them look to staged to be snap shots. If you look at the hand cycle one he's holding the handles on the bike but in the other pic's he's clearly a quad. The Joey pic's just don't seem right, and there is no cushion in the chair, even a para gets pressure sores.
Oh my God, I can't believe someone on the internet is trying to be someone they're not. This blows my whole concept of this new technology. hahaha

Wow, wouldn't it just totally suck if all the pics were the real thing, and now the owners of them feel self-conscious and want them taken down?
But yeah, that's totally a ghetto chair in Joey's. I wondered about that myself.

I always had the feeling that the first Joey pic wasn't quite right. The head looks to me to have been grafted on... Too much shadow under the chin in what is otherwise a very 'flat' photograph.
I also agree about the awful chair and lack of cushion.
Rob.

What I would be likely to ask is are they the people who posted them? Yes, that's a question that is bugging me whenever I see pics posted by people or got them sent to me. I wonder whether they really look like this. On the net you can never know for sure - you need to get there and see the person in person. I wonder how many people think that the pics I posted in my yahoo profile were not taken of me (actually I'm so ugly on those pics - there's no reason why I should lie that I look that bad...)...

And of course if they are "genuine" we might just have made some enemies for the "devo-case". So: "Thank you, guys!" And of course big thanks to all of you, who contributed. That's exactly how I feel. It's been like pulling teeth to get people to send in photos and now that they are, I don't want to start attacking the guys who sent them to me. That's not a way to encourage more photos. I can see how the photos might look a little doctored, but they might just be low res. Mostly, I don't understand why either of these guys would do that. Neither one gave me a contact email to post, so why would they send me a fake photo with no way for anyone to follow up on it? If Jeff's photo really is just stolen from an ad, then why would he send me that? What would be gained? As for Joey's photo..... I think the current hypothesis here is that a guy photoshopped his head onto a paralyzed body that was photoshopped into a ghetto chair. Uh.... why would ANYONE do that?

well you shouldn't judit..your pix are very cute You are sweet, too. But as I said there's no reason to convince me. I'm just not satisfied with the way I look even though there are always men whisteling when I pass by. There were already some bumping into lampposts because they forgot to look away... But all this makes me even more self concious and less satisfied... I can't help it.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm glad you guys like my friends. :-P I was saying earlier that I have plenty of female friends. It's too bad one can't be converted to devoism.
