Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

I never said it was, Ralph (the moment she took her shot).

The whole point of that essay is that Moorman was *not* on Elm Street when she took the photo, but rather on the grass.

Ralph Cinque:

Yes, but John, the image that you posted certainly implies that that is when she was shooting the Kennedys. Of course, a person would think that because they are right in front of her, and she is aiming her camera right at them, poised to take the picture. But, that was definitely NOT the moment of the Moorman photo, and the question is: why not? Why didn't she click the shutter then? Why did she wait until the limo had passed her? I don't believe she did wait, and she doesn't claim to have waited. She said she took the photo and then heard two more shots. Repeat: SHE SAID SHE TOOK THE PHOTO AND THEN HEARD TWO MORE SHOTS. She only took one such shot, and that means the picture she took could not have been the Moorman photo because the Moorman photo was taken after the last shot. So, why would Mary have refrained from pressing the shutter in the above frame? Who would wait to shoot the back of someone's head?
