Familiar Faces in Dealey Plaza

[Morgan Reynolds]

Good point, Allan! Yes, the man we identify as Adams was squinting in the sun, hence the furrow in the brow/bridge causing a slight shadow in the Dealey Plaza photo not present in the indoor pic.

>OK...then someone associated with you did. I did not invent them.
I remember it being you, but if I am wrong, I do not know who else
sent them. It is so long ago that I no longer have the email which
contained them. So who sent them?<

So long ago? What, fourteen months?

I received the photographs of Robert Adams from Frank Caplett on November 24, 2009. Perhaps Frank sent them to you. More likely it was your buddy Fetzer.

Jack, my response is that your graphic of the two pics is inconclusive. Note that I'm not going to play pure photo analyst here because I'm going to import outside information (age) to arrive at my answer.

The two photos differ in photographic conditions so much that I do not share your conclusion about distance between eyebrows. I cannot tell what the distance between eyebrows is in the Dealey Plaza photo taken at 12:30 in bright overhead sun. That photo shows deep shadows and, combined with blurriness of the picture, leaves me uncertain about how far apart the man's eyebrows are. Distance between eyebrows, on the other hand, in the photo taken indoors under very favorable lighting conditions are easily seen and are clearly sizable, a wider-than-normal gap.

What I notice as a difference between the two photos is not distance between eyebrows but the bridges of the nose, namely, in the Plaza pic the bridge looks narrow and includes a shadow due to a sinus brow or furrow in the skin, while the bridge of the nose in the indoor pic looks broader without a noteworthy brow or furrow.

I would reconcile the difference in the two images as caused by two differences: in the indoor pic bright lighting (likely a camera flash) minimized facial shadows and the man was years younger in that photo than the (same) man who was pictured outdoors in the Plaza. My claim is that furrows appear and deepen with age.

Conclusion: the photo comparison is inconclusive because of differences in
photographic conditions and age of subject.

Now consider this generalization: non-photographic evidence is frequently more compelling than photos. This is especially true if direct, unimpeachable evidence says "A," while photos say A, B or C.

I am pleased that you agree with my conclusion that the comparison
of the photos is INCONCLUSIVE, which is my consistent position.
I have consistently said that AGE differences make a direct comparison
impossible. I really do not understand what all this fuss is about.

On your other point, I have seen NO unimpeachable evidence so far.
Perry Mason would agree with me, I think.

Thanks.

Why would "my buddy Fetzer" have them?

Honestly, I do not remember who SENT them, but they first
became known because "your buddy Caplett" told you about Adams.

I am well aware of why, how and when the photographs of Robert Adams became known; that info is on my Webpage. Fetzer had the pictures simply because Caplett sent him copies. Immediately thereafter, Fetzer started making noises on this forum -- nasty, obnoxious ad hominem noises -- about a conspiracy to cover up Conein's presence on Houston/Main, the logic of which I still cannot fathom.

All that I do is look at images and make comparisons.
I give my opinions of what I see. Others look at the
same comparisons and draw different conclusions. I
am not responsible for the opinions of others. They
may agree or disagree. They may be logical or illogical.
They may be informed or uninformed. They may be
right or wrong. None of this changes what images
show. Below I have enhanced the Altgens images
to show what "appears" to be eyes, and have compared
them to the eyes of Adams. I have shown what I "see".
If you see something different, fine...because the image
is not sharp enough to really tell. But that does not
change what it seems to show.

Come on, Jack! Adams's eyes are obscured in shadow in the Houston/Main photograph. You can draw lines wherever your fancy takes you.

I see no significant inconsistency between the two faces below -- eyebrows, hairline, nose, mouth, chin, cheekbones, or ears -- none.

[Jack White]

I have more than 60 years of professional experience
in dealing with photos on a daily basis.

It is noteworthy that many "ordinary people" without
such experience cannot perceive minute differences in
photos which distinguish one from another.

That is THEIR failing, not mine.

So, anything and everything that you say, we minions should take as Gospel?

Naah! It doesn't work that way when common sense gets in the way.

[Allan Eaglesham]

>This is laughable.

Do me a favor. Stand in front of a mirror. Exercise facial muscles.
Make your eyebrows move sideways toward the middle. Careful,
now...don't strain any muscles. I am not responsible for injuries.

Oh, yes...document the experiment. Take measurements of the
amount of lateral movement. Take photos. Remember, vertical
movement does not count, since that is easy. Make your eyebrows
move sideways.

Thanks in advance for doing this experiment.

That's right, Jack, I am sitting here, twiddling my thumbs, waiting for you to think up projects for me. I have found, time and again, that retired people think that everyone else is retired, with time on their hands. I don't need to do any experiments, thank you very much. When the sun shines in one's eyes, a natural reaction is to bring the eyebrows down and together to provide extra shading.
