Jack, your best post of late!
Yes, I agree with [/FONT]Allan[/FONT] that a transverse furrow forms when you or I squint but now I think Jack is right, the Dealey Plaza man is not squinting, at least not very much.
How to respond to Jack's challenge then? Jack chose two photos that provide the largest contrast in area between the bridge of the nose and brow of the subject(s). I believe that we can reconcile the two photos he chose as the same man due to the subject's different ages in the two photos plus differences in photo conditions (angle, light, facial expression, distance, clarity, etc.).
[/FONT]The attached set of five photos shows a very close resemblance between Adams in his photo 4 and the Dealey Plaza man, wisp of widow's peak hair aside, while his younger photos...not so much. The transverse furrow between the bridge of the nose and the brow is present in photo 4, as is also true of the Dealey Plaza man and marginally in photo 3, while virtually absent in the two photos of a younger Adams.
I do not [/FONT]entirely [/FONT]rule out squinting with shadows caused by sunlight emphasizing the transverse furrow and minimizing vertical furrows, but I believe the dissimilarity Jack cites is primarily an age-driven one. Photo 4 and DP man form an incredibly close match IMO.
