Those Front Steps

[Royell Storing]

  Excellent Work! To my eye, your 4th Frame from the Top-Down is the most Definitive.

When "they" "painted" the shadow in, "they" missed the head of whoever "they" were trying to hide.

When "they" "painted" the shadow in, "they" missed the head of whoever "they" were trying to hide.

So we're agreed that it is indeed a head? Excellent! 

Ask yourself: How many people-------in the first five-and-a-half decades following the assassination--------actually noticed that there was a man standing right behind Mr Lovelady? Not a single one. So if hiding the presence of that second man was the objective, it was handsomely achieved!

This was, in short, a cover-up perpetrated in and for the age of analog. It has failed to withstand the unforeseen scrutiny of a digital age.

One of the problems with researching this case is that one's eyes get habituated to certain images, and we stop seeing what's actually in front of us.

Case in point! The examined-to-death Altgens photograph:



As I've suggested before, it can be helpful to defamiliarize an image by flipping it. Fresh detail------------missed by the jaded eye----------can leap out this way.

Let's try it on Altgens:



What leaps out? Why, the horrible tumor on Mr Lovelady's cheekbone... and chin!

Returning to the original, we now see that it ain't no tumor--it's part of the person standing right behind Mr Lovelady:



Surely the owner of the second head in Wiegman! 

And could it be that some of the dark area everyone has seen as belonging to the head of the gentleman in the tie (in Altgens) is in fact the hair of this person (be it Mr Shelley or Mr Oswald)?

  Really good work breaking this down from multiple images/angles.
