Full Version: Establishing an agreed-on order to aftermath photography
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I've spent many hours looking at the various aftermath photos and trying to work out which person is which. I have come up with what I think is a fairly agreeable order to the photos, and I was wanting to share it with you guys.
SOME MAY ASK: why I am 'going over old ground'? I can assure you the only reason I'm doing this is so that people can make ground on the alteration side of the photographic evidence. In order to work out what is wrong with the photos (e.g. in this photo person x is missing) you need to know some sort of order and be able to agree that certain elements are probably right.

Sorry for not including every photo out there. I've kind of run out of ideas, so I thought I'd share my work so far and hopefully you guys can give me a hand.

It would take ages to explain why photo x is earlier on the sequence than photo y, but the main factor is usually the appreciation of somebody's direction of travel and how much they have progressed in any given photo.
(also for the 3rd photo please ignore the surrounding material: it's the best version I could find, but I don't want to crop it because I thought that might result in quality-loss)
In order of LEFT to RIGHT

TH, you might find this website useful. It has a chronological arrangement of the photos taken in Dealey Plaza.

That picture of the Newman family on the ground was taken by Frank Cancellare, and there is a better copy of it at the above site.

Another way to arrange the order of the photos is by examining the cars/buses in the motorcade as they appear in the photos.
Good resource Tracy. Thank you. There is also a book by Trask called 'Pictures of the Pain' covering the pictures from the day but I don't know if it is chronological.

Thank you Tracy, this is an extremely helpful resource. I've realised that I made several chronological mistakes, and I've corrected them. Whoever created that photo sequence is a superb researcher.
I have made a collection of the highest quality versions of those stills, and will update my original post according to my corrections.
I have also found some additions (photos that I had never seen before!).

Thanks again
