Photoshopping Gavin & Han Shin

So the Bay Guardian was sent a picture, purportedly of Han Shin and the object of his stalking fantasies, Gavin Newsom. A cropped version of it appears to your left; the full-size photo in the print edition shows Han Shin in a black jacket and royal-blue shirt unbuttoned at least two buttons down, revealing a lovely pendant. Gavin is in a pinkish-purple kimono-style robe, wearing what looks like a Bevan Dufty for Supervisor shirt underneath. The Guardian's source says they got the picture from Han Shin himself.

Now, we're no Photoshop experts, but a reader who is sent along the following thoughts:

The light on Gavin's face is coming from over the photog's right shoulder. So there is a shadow cast by his nose that shows you where the light is coming from. The area between the Gloved One's face and the kimono shouldn't be in shadow. The one pixel by 25 pixel area in shadow at this border suggests most of the light is coming from over the photog's left shoulder.

Also, what's up with that collar? Gav's oxford shirt collar sort of morphs into the kimono differently on the left versus the right side.

Now, you know that both we and Han Shin appreciate a good composite picture -- so did someone prank the Guardian? Or is Han Shin passing out more photoshopped pictures? (We still kind of want to see that diaper picture. Sort of.)

Or ....did Gavin actually lounge in a pink kimono-style bathroom with Han Shin? Fingers crossed! After all, Han Shin says he had sex with the mayor too. (Though an SFPD inspector says that claim "is not accurate. I've had discussions with Mayor Newsom.")
