NO, it is NOT!!!
I have seen that beam personally, that is exactly what it looks like.
Steve has been doing "semi-official" NYFD photos for many years. His
reputation is perfect. He would never fake a photo. He has no need.
His photos have appeared on the covers of many newspapers and
magazines.
AND
He has a full time job that pays QUITE well.

Actually, at least one picture is doctored. If you look at the one about
the "last beam," you will notice something odd about the lettering of
NYPD 23. It looks too bright and out of place. A quick download and zoom
with any paint or art program shows that the letters were added later and
didn't quite fit on the beam. The "author" of the picture then tried to
erase out or clone pixels from the background and did a real ****ty job
of it. Now if this "expert" can't even doctor his pics without a novice
like me and my little rinky dink paint program finding it, why would we
buy his stuf??

I don't think it really matters but if the picture was enhanced to
make the numbers etc stand out more, then he should tell us that. Even
without zooming, those numbers look odd to anybody looking at it.
Don't think it really matters though. No biggie in other words.
