Hey Floppy,
The pictures are all genuine. The one of Sash has not been
photoshopped. Look closely at the hair at the top of his head. One can
see individual strands that let the background show through. That is
near impossible to do. I see what you are referring to though, fuzzy
areas around the ear and neck on his right side are blurred. My
professional opinion is that that blurriness is consistent with a
teenage boy's attempt at sideburns.
Oops! I posted it before I was finished, sorry. Take a look at the
scarring on his right lower jaw below his mouth. It is consistent to
scarring seen from an acknowledged Sash photo (attached). It is
without question the same young man. He is happy and healthy from the
looks of him. I am thrilled by that revelation. And take a look at
Andr (Old Vova), OMG! he is still a hearthrob.
You are probably right in that it proves nothing. I have no idea how
long ago the original pictures were taken, but as I remember they
started to surface in 2004. So the new pictures of the boys as teens
could be years old and anything could have happened to them in the
interim. Let's hope they are fine (as I suspect they are) and hope for
more pictures of the dynamic duo to surface as older teens.
