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

This is for Jonny from McAdams forum. Jonny, they altered the Altgens photo, and they have never stopped altering it. And when the digital era arrived, with photoshopping, it became extremely easy to add new details to the doorawy crops to make it look more detailed than it was.  

For instance: notice how you can see the junction of Black Tie Man's collar and his shirt. There's a line there that distinguishes his collar.   

But, that was a white collar over a white shirt, and Ike Altgens was shooting from a great distance away with his focal point set on the Kennedys.  So, do you really think he picked up that line? I assure you that he didn't. That was added in- by Robert Groden or somebody. There is simply no way that a detail that small and that faint could be captured on Tri-X film by Altgens' camera. 

And likewise, it looks somewhat like an elbow and forearm on Obfuscated Man, but it is totally fictitious. Somebody photoshopped it in. They played with it. That's the lie they decided to go with for him.  Look at the size of that elbow and forearm. Compare it to the elbows and forearms of Black Hole Man standing behind him. And why is the pinkie so big?

 That man is standing with both arms coming down, and he is crossing his arms, both of them, across his chest. You can see his left hand there coming across, and it is grabbing his right arm, which is coming down. You don't think he had three arms, do you?

Here is the point of his right shoulder:

That's his right shoulder, and you wouldn't see it if he had his arm going up. So, his right arm is coming down, and he's got his left hand wrapped around his right elbow. That's how he is standing. NOBODY would do it with just one arm. That would be biomechanically useless, pointless, and ludicrous.  

So, somebody tried to give some detail to the white blob that was added; they tried to convert it into an elbow and forearm. 

Likewise, somebody tried to put in a face on Black Hole Man.

That is a totally fictitious face. It's art. The camera never caught that. 

This rendition of the doorway is from a 1964 image:

That's how it looked. You saw no tie on Obfuscated Man. You certainly could not make out the collar on Black Tie Man. And there certainly was no face on Black Hole Man. That's all you got. The stuff they are showing today is very doctored; it's been enhanced. 

Here it is as a collage: the real and the enhanced.

So, don't fall for photoshopping. That is not an elbow and forearm on Obfuscated Man. It's just a white blob. He was crossing both arms across his chest.
