Update: New York Bigfoot Photos

Here are the original photos that the readers of Cryptomundo demanded. They have been cropped for size, but the subject in the thumbnails below is the original size. The zoomed-in version that you get from clicking on the images below were blown up 200%.

Dr. Jeff Meldrum emailed the series of photos that Hans Mobius shot in Clarence, NY on May 27, 2006. The photos were previously discussed here on Cryptomundo yesterday.

It is obvious from these photos that it is not a photoshopped out void in the photos as several readers commented in the original post. You can make out the detail that Jeff Meldrum was quoted as saying:

It’s obviously a man in a suit," said Dr. D. Jeffrey Meldrum, an assistant biological sciences professor at Idaho State University, who specializes in anatomy, evolutionary morphology, primatology and paleontology and has written extensively on Sasquatch footprints. Meldrum pointed out that the head is proportioned like that of a human being. He also pointed out the short, un-apelike arms.

"Look at the forearms," he went on. "There’s not natural taper at the wrist. It looks like a sleeve transitioning into a glove."

The hair, he added, "looks unnatural." "It disperses light like artificial fur would."

He also said that the series of photos show the creature standing in one spot while moving back and forth, rather than quickly running away.

You can now clearly make out the detail that Dr. Meldrum mentioned. You can make out the details of the hand. It even appears that the subject is sporting an Afro.

Are the Cryptomundo readers who questioned the details that Jeff Meldrum saw, able to see those details now?
