Whoa, I think I may have just had a "BAM" moment. The nudie pics have always seemed odd and out of place to me. Under lit, out of focus, etc.
Now... unlike several here at WS, I always believed they each posed for their nudies (as bad as they are), and were in fact taken the afternoon that She-Devil killed Travis.
But... if I put samspace and pages' posts together... I just had an epiphany.
Now first of all, I know all the photo images on digital camera are recorded and captured by the camera's memory card so a person can't simply download pics from their computer harddrive (or flash drive/memory stick/thumb drive device, etc) directly on to the camera's memory card to "fake" a picture being taken by the camera. BUT... it is ***entirely*** possible for a person to use a digital camera to take a picture of another picture! In so doing, that would explain how nekkid pictures previously taken of Jodi and Travis were found on his camera's memory card -- because Jodi used Travis' camera to take pictures of old pictures which she had printed out and brought with her. Right???
That would explain why the nudies look dark -- because when taking pictures of pictures, she would have only been able to use the natural light that was available to her in the room at the time and would not have used the camera's flash. Why? Because had she used the camera's flash, the pictures would have been "blown out" from the reflection of the flash itself. That sounds about right.
And Jodi taking pictures of pictures would also explain the poor focus of the nekkid picture images. Don't all digital cameras these days focus automatically by pressing the shutter button halfway? The blurry pics of Travis on his bed might still be blurry if the camera didn't focus correctly when she took the pic. But she could always take another picture of him after the focus was set correctly, right? BUT... if she's talking a picture of a picture of Travis, she has to get the camera lens zoomed in close enough to fill the LCD screen with the image she is about to take, and if you are too close to a subject with the wrong lens, the image will be fuzzy and appear out of focus. The only way to get the image back in focus is to get further away from the subject. And she couldn't do that and still fill the camera's LCD screen with the picture of Travis she was taking. That also sounds about right.
I also remember her saying to Det. Flores about the recovered nekkid images, "it sort of looks like me, but were they maybe taken on a different day"? That would make sense that the pics were indeed from an earlier encounter. Presumably the only thing she didn't think about was Travis' camera embedding a timestamp in the pics she took on July 4th. Whoopsies!
It's only three years too late for her trial, and thankfully she's now rotting in prison for the rest of her poor, pathetic, miserable life, but has anyone mentioned Jodi perhaps doing this (taking pictures of pictures) to get the nudies on Travis' camera. Considering that I am now starting to think they may not have had any sexual encounters that day, I can totally see her doing that. She's that cunning! (though still shortsighted re: the timestamp thing, lol)
Is my theory within the realm of possibilities, or too far out there? Would Jodi taking pictures of pictures also explain the timing and sequence of the nudies? Because it would certainly explain the poor lighting and focus. And it IS one way to get nekkid pics of them on his camera card for he and Mimi to unexpectedly see as they view their vacation pics of Cancun. And if that was her intention, she must not have thought about killing him till later on that afternoon. Otherwise, why even bother?
Sorry for the long post! lol
