Who is this?

[Nicholas Turner]

Not a problem, Mr Turner!

Here's where the cameraman was standing when he took the photo below:

Thanks. Not everyone has been so understanding about my thinking out loud posts in the past. Much appreciated.

  Another issue with that photo is there were books stacked and laying around almost all the way to the doorway/stairwell. There was a semi-aisle between the stacks of books and the windows almost all the way down from the snipers nest to the stairwell. We see plenty of open space between that last stack of boxes and the freight elevator. This photo has Numerous Issues along with Not lining up with the floor plan for the 6th floor.

One assumes the area in front of the elevator was kept clear for loading and off-loading.

But if you know of other 11/22/63 images of the sixth floor showing something other than the open space arrangement we see here, I'll be all eyes!

I watched a film of the rifle being found on Youtube and in it was a shot from inside the elevator looking out. Not only did this help me further understand where the stairwell was and the orientation of the photographs it also showed the floor in front of it to be quite clear as in the photograph .

    Based on that floor plan, the Distance from the Freight Elevator to the Stairwell is LESS than 20 FEET. Generally speaking, You could Spit from the Freight Elevator to the Stairwell.  No Way!

Who cares about "Generally speaking"? We're "TSBD-11/22/63 speaking"! So-------yes way!
