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

I mentioned that it looks more like a left hand than a right hand, but there is another thing wrong with this image.

If that's a right hand, then it's farther away from the camera than the arm. That's because the motorcycle was wide, much wider than his shoulders. The distance between the two handgrips was much wider than his shoulders. And that means his arms had to extend out, away from his body, to grab them.

So, we should get a sense of his arm coming in, moving closer to the camera, but, it's just the opposite. 

His right hand is farther out than his right shoulder. So, it should look like this:

Here's an example:

Notice that we get the impression that his right hand is on the OUTSIDE, and his right shoulder is on the INSIDE. That's the way it has to be. Right? But just compare to the Moorman photo:

Notice first that there is nothing anatomical about the hand or the arm in the Moorman photo. It really looks like a stick figure. It looks like a crude drawing of an arm and hand. But, here's the clincher: in the bottom image, look how small the hand is. It looks small, and it's because it's deeper in the picture; it's farther away. And it gives us the sense of depth: that his arm is taking his hand OUT to meet that grip. But, in the Moorman photo, we are getting no sense of depth. It completely lacks the sense of three-dimensionality or depth that we get from the bottom image. And his clam-like hand is too big in the Moorman photo. Since it's more distant than his arm, farther from the camera, it should appear smaller, like the hand in the bottom image. There is just no denying that the hand and arm of BJ Martin in the Moorman photo are bogus. Only the bloodied defend it.
