Mr. Doyle,
Are you blind? You cannot see the point of Doorman's left shoulder in my Video 2 or in any other image of him. And I did not say that Black Tie Man was in front of Doorman. I don't think that Black Tie Man even exists, so how I could I think or say that he was in front? What I said was that his purpose was to cover up Oswald's distinctive shirt construction on that left side. Visually, Black Tie Man is both in front of and behind Doorman- depending on what perspective you are considering. If you consider the invisibility of Doorman's shoulder, then BT Man is in front of him. But, if you consider the invisibility of BT Man's arm and shoulder, then Doorman is in front of BT Man. Hence, indeed, it is an impossible and contradictory situation.
And when it comes to shade from the lintel, it is not a matter of above or below, but rather of forward or back. Besides, his hands are just as "above" as his head. Therefore, why are they visible, but not his head? Aren't they at the same level as his head? His torso is lower than his head, but his hands aren't lower than his head. And his hands and arms are brightly lite.
His arms are out so far precisely to preserve his field of vision- so that he can see everything. He's got them out that way so that they don't block his view, his field of vision. But, in not blocking his view, they are also letting enough light in so that we should be seeing something- of his face.
So, now you are back to saying that it's the shade line from the lintel and not his arms that are blacking out his face. But why then isn't the shade line putting his arms in shadow? You can't have it both ways.
Subtle contrasts? I'm not talking about a subtle contrast! A face is not a "subtle contrast."
The shade line is from the neck up? But, we can see his hands which are well above his neck. How is it that we see them when it's supposed to be shaded from the neck up?
I am not speculating when I say that people rest their hands on their head. It's tiring to hold your arms up like that without support.
And speaking of wildly speculating, you are the one who is doing it when you say that Doorman is holding on to something with his right hand. How dare you? You've got some nerve.
And again I want to point out to anyone else reading this that this isn't even central to my thesis. Black Hole Man is just a strange anomaly in the Altgens photo, part of what I call the Addams Family. I don't have any doubt that Black Hole Man is real, but I have no idea who he is.
But, my main claim is that Doorman's shirt- the physical form of it, the lay of it, the way he's wearing it, the way it fits him, and the v-necked t-shirt underneath, together prove that he is Oswald. You could take Black Hole Man out of the picture completely, and it wouldn't change a thing. But, Mr. Doyle wants to continue talking about Black Hole Man forever because he apparently does not want to address the larger, more crucial issues.
Mr. Doyle: Why is Doorman's shirt so much like Oswald's? Why is Doorman's shirt so much like Oswald's? Why is Doorman's shirt so much like Oswald's?
