gullible

At work the other day, an idea was culled from various conversations to manipulate a photo of a coworker and put a tattoo on his arm. Not having a good picture to perform this feat, I had to use a picture I harvested from Google.

After about 10 minutes of work, I had morphed his head on a body of similar build and put a portrait of an employee from a different department, forensics to be exact, on his arm. In the end it did not look too bad. I actually spent more time looking for the picture to use then I did editting it.

I would come to find out that it was better then I thought. Both people involved thought it was a real picture for different reasons. I was told by a coworker that, "You know it's a good picture when the person in it questions when the picture was taken and then realizes it's a fake." After telling my sister the story, she added, "You know it was good when you fool the CSI guy at work."

Of course my boss 2 levels up saw it as well and mentioned that perhaps I need more real work to do.
