Those Front Steps

[Alan Ford]

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.

Friends, I want to return to two images Mr Chris Davidson posted earlier on this thread. I understand they catch the same moment in time.

Well!

First-day statement from Mr Bill Shelley-------------------------



Pretty clear sequence of events:

1. Is on steps when hears shots

2. Runs out to corner of park, runs into Ms Gloria Calvery

3. Returns to building (no trip down Elm Street and then to railroad yards)

4. Re-enters building.

Now!

I tend to agree with those who argue that the Darnell film shows Mr Billy Lovelady still on the steps (yellow arrow), talking with Ms Gloria Calvery, who has just come running back there (orange arrow--note her left hand on the column)-------------------



If, as Mr Shelley's affidavit indicates, he went back to the building immediately after his exchange with Ms Calvery, then could this be him in the Darnell film?



There was no one standing there when Pres. Kennedy passed.............
