When I first looked at this photo, I thought, “that girl looks like Meghan McCain.”
After looking at the photo more carefully, I think that it really is her! She does live in Manhattan. She slimmed down a little since the summer.
My first paparazzi photo, and I wasn’t even trying.

Above is a photo of Meghan McCain borrowed from her Facebook album.
She would have had to to have lost a considerable amount of weight. I highly doubt it's her. In that recent Twitter pic, she didn't look like she had lost any weight.

I don't think so.

That isn't her.
It doesn't even look like her.

This is one of the better photos that you've posted. You should concentrate on keeping the subject identifiable in every image and on maximizing the contrasts and patterns that make black and white photography so enjoyable.

Looks more like Britney Spears...

I walked by Anna Kournikova once on a sidewalk in Times Square. That was in 2004, I think. November. Does that count for anything? I wasn't able to take a foto though -- we just passed each other on the sidewalk. She was alone. Easily recognizable.

Nice Wicked sign...(and, pls, more of the old topics that made you a top 20 blogger)
[HS: Since when was I a top 20 blogger?]

That doesn't even look like her. It's not her.

They all look alike.

That's a nice picture you've taken but the girl doesn't resemble Meghan McCain in the slightest. Meghan is considerably larger than that (not taller, but very pudgy) and nowhere near as pretty. I hate to be harsh but Meghan looks like a fat little kid, not a good looking woman.

51st and Broadway, in front of McDonald's.
I work in the building to the left of the frame. Small world.

Not even close. The girl's a pretty oval head and Meghan is a fat balloon head.

the pics of megan mccain bring to mind the phrase "fat girl angle shot."
[HS: I don't think it's fair to call her "fat" just because she's a little more curvaceous than the typical fashion model.]

It's not her nose.
Geez, for someone with a rumored 140 IQ you sure have trouble with spatial visualization.

Good photo but I don't think it's Megan McCain.
McCain has more spread out eyes and she has a more average weight than the girl in your photo.

"Fat balloon head." I never thought of that before, but how true it is! She's quite balloon-headish. And HS: Is "curvaceous" the politically correct word for being fat? I don't think McCain's got some kind of serious weight problem, but really, she's more than just curvaceous, she's fat. In the whole scheme of things, being fat is not a terrible thing, but her combative, belligerent, bratty personality is a real turn-off.

Firstly, I'll agree that this is the best photo so far in the series. Secondly, I suspect that it's not Meghan, but a similar looking female that's less attractive than our chubby faux-Republican Queen.

Nose. The girl in the top photo has great skin. She's either 10 years younger than McCain, or has never lost or gained much weight. People who yo-yo have much looser skin.

Who here thinks the other girl looks like Huma Abedin, HRC's right hand, if not mouthpiece, in the last election?

HS might just have been TMZ worthy!

Well, by FGAS, I mean how each official picture of McCain is strategically made to hide any excess pounds she may have. Look at her facebook pic above; her hat, high collar, even the lighting all contribute to hide her somewhat portly physique.
Years ago, she would have been considered the fat friend. Now, sadly, she's just one of the girls. That's not sexist, guys are the same way. But the girl in the pic taken by HS is about a hundred times more attractive than McCain. The former doesn't need fancy picture taken to appear attractive.

Stupid, pretentious hat.

At least in the pic, it looks like Meghan McCain has a head like Stewie Griffin.
Posted by: Kirk | November 11, 2009 at 08:28 AM
You can see the girl on the street's legs and buttocks. She's obviously not McCain. This girl probably walks a lot?

HS: per comment #7, you are 16th in the econ category here. Why econ, I have no idea as you no not discuss macro, and you discuss some, very little, micro. I guess these folks put the label "econ" on anything remotely business-related. http://www.gongol.com/lists/bizeconsites/
