However, Jack White's skill, methdology, and training in photographic interpretation are relevant to his recent study of the Apollo photographs.
For example, White cropped and resized two photos of the same lunar mountain in order to argue that the mountain "changed size" between the two photos, suggesting the same studio backdrop was used in two different occasions.
It is very difficult to follow White's research because he habitually "forgets" to include the standard Apollo photo reference numbers, forcing critics to search through thousands of photographs to find the source image and make sure he hasn't left out something important, or that he's not trying to compare photographs from two different missions.

Sales of their third album, 2001's White Blood Cells, have reached a respectable 1m, which is also the figure in dollars they were alleged to have received in return for signing to London-based label XL two months after the insanity of that first visit.
It's instructive that Jack should afford the White Stripes' visual representation equal prominence with their music, a stance quite unusual for a band belonging to the alternative milieu, where preoccupation with image is deemed frivolous.
