There is no way that Ike Altgens captured the collar line on Black Tie Man. You see how the collar overlies the shirt in a distinct line?
I am saying that that is B.S. From where he was, and with that lousy Tri-X film, and with the focus set on the Kennedys, there was no way he was going to capture such a fine detail on such a distant figure. And I have the proof. I have the October 1964 LIFE magazine with the Altgens, which I have studied with a bright light and a high-powered magnifying glass, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that that detail is NOT present. And the same is true for the copy of the Altgens photo that I bought directly from the AP.
These aren't photographs that we are looking at online. They are online digital images, which are very easily manipulated. And, they have been manipulated. They have been dressed up. They have been doctored.
Most people, upon seeing Black Tie Man as he actually appears in the Altgens photo, don't even recognize it as a human image. They will often say that it looks like a couple of towels thrown over Doorman's shoulder. I have heard Jesse Ventura say that.
We have got to stop thinking that these online images are honest. They have been lying with images since Day1, and they've never stopped. Decades later, they were still altering images from the JFK assassination. Into the 21st century, they have been altering images from the JFK assassination.
