I would have to have a very low standard of evidence to believe that you exist if all you did was say you exist and send a picture. That picture could be anyone at all.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech   (February 14, 2014 at 4:23 pm)The Good News Wrote: I wasn't playing anything. I will try to explain what I meant: What you are saying is more like this: you tell us you are really an ostrich wearing a bow tie. When we express doubt, you tell us that your brother, who is sitting next to you, can verify that this is true. Your "brother" types out the message "yes, he is an ostrich wearing a bow tie." When we still express doubt, you tell us that he is telling the truth because he is your brother and he's really a pretty honest guy.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

And how are we supposed to know that it is true? Because you said so?

No, but you should only believe in something if there is evidence for it.
