David Percy

David Percy is a photographer and a paid up fellow of the Royal Photography Society.   Unfortunately this doesn't mean he has an ounce of common sense.  Nor does it make him a official spokesperson of the R.P.S., though you'd be forgiven for thinking this, as this is how he is often presented.

Percy may, or may not, be a talented photographer but he is sadly lacking in any skill in interpreting images.   He's the one responsible for most of the shadow and photography theories.   He's also extremely taken by the 'whistle blower' notion, he must think he's one of those smart people who understand the clues..    We find it amazing that someone who is supposed to be a professional photographer can't understand how reflected light can provide infill to a photograph.

Some other of Percy's interesting ideas;

• Part of the surface of Mars maps roughly to an area just north of Stonehenge in England.   Not surprisingly Percy doesn't believe this is merely coincidental.
• These corresponding objects, through a bit of ridiculous and obscure mathematical gymnastics, indicate the exact co-ordinates of that other conspiracy favourite; the 'Face On The Surface Of Mars'.  Unfortunately Percy doesn't understand how his contrived calculations rather depend on the Martians using base 10 numbers and the exact same method of quantifying angles as ourselves.  Hint for Percy: there is nothing "universal" about base 10 or about dividing a circle into 360 degrees.
• This 'establishes beyond all reasonable doubt' an 'unshakeable case' that sentient beings lived on Mars and ancient civilisations knew about them.   Obviously the Martians didn't think to just write 'Hello'.  No, they had in mind something way more complicated.  Too smart for their own good, we'd say.
• All this, of course, ties in with the Egyptian Sphinx, which had its nose shot off by Napoleon's soldiers, maybe because they were anti-Semites or just because Napoleon had a big hooter himself and was touchy about it.  The Sphinx had a big nose because it's actually part Neanderthal, as are Jews, as is the 'Face on Mars'.  Or something.  Sorry, if you're further interested in Percy's nonsense you'll have to read his web site, we couldn't take any more.

This is an article that Percy wrote for Fortean Times that explains at great length about "shadows anomalies". 

And this is an article that followed the month after, where he got duly panned by readers later for talking such drivel.

Here's Percy's website if you really must see it for yourself.
