And it DEFINITELY was altered. In the doorway area alone, they:
1) blackened out the face of Black Hole Man (Lovelady). There is no way shading from his hands- or anything else- could have blackened out his whole face. And by the way, there is no other photographic image like this in the entire history of photography.
2) whitened out the face of Obfuscated Man, who had both arms crossing his abdomen, where the white obfuscation is being called a third arm that is going up to his head. And by the way, there is no other photographic image like this in the entire history of photography.
You can see the point of his right shoulder. His left hand is wrapped around his right elbow. And think about it: you can't see his face, at all. How could he be blocking his entire face? That third "elbow" isn't even lined up right with the rest of him. It is ridiculous. He is standing there with BOTH arms crisscrossing his chest. He is NOT standing there visoring his eyes with his right arm and making like Napoleon with his left.
3/4 Black Tie Man was stuck into the picture, and it cut off Doorman's left shoulder. The interface between the two of them is physically, anatomically, and photographically impossible. And by the way, there is no other photographic image like this in the entire history of photography.
A bevy of doctors agreed that Doorman's left shoulder is not visible when it should be. We count the implantation of Black Tie Man as one anomaly and the damage done to Doorman as as a result of it as another.
5. They extended the hair on the African-American woman to complete the obfuscation of Obfuscated Man.
You only have to compare the size of her hair to that of the woman next to her.
6. The image of Roy Lewis in the Altgens photo is false. At that moment, he was situated exactly as he was in the Wiegman film.
Roy Lewis was mostly in Altgens' blind spot, and certainly his face was.
7. And last but not least, the Altgens Woman and Boy are fake. She could not possibly be holding him the way she appears to be. And no, Backes: I didn't say that women can't hold children. I'm saying that they can't hold them as she appears to be holding him.
Of course, they weren't in the doorway, and they weren't anywhere. They were not in Dealey Plaza. The most I can say for them is that they did exist. I am not saying that they were like a cartoon as were the Woman and Baby from Towner.
So, there you have it: the 7 alterations in and near the doorway of the Altgens photo. They had to be done, accomplished. And that took time. How much time? I'm sure they had a crack team of alterers and probably the best in the world. It may have been done in as little as two hours, but they may have had more time than that. The picture was taken at 12:30 Central or 1:30 Eastern. Walter Cronkite showed it that evening on national television. I don't know what time it was, but it may have been 7:30, and if so that would allow 6 hours. It might as well have been 6 days for all that they could have done in that much time.
