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

David Von Pein put up this image of Blackie Harrison's eyes to show that blackening of the eyes could take place in those lighting conditions.

But, let's go in a little closer.

Uh oh. It's starting to look non-photographic, isn't it. As in: fake.

Doesn't it look like somebody took a felt pen and went across his eye with it? What reason do you have to believe that that is a legitimate photographic image?

The truth is: how could ANYTHING cast a shadow in that shape and in that location? 

But, here's an idea: get your camera out, David, and try to duplicate it. You can duplicate the conditions. Can't you? I tell you though: I think you're in for a rude awakening. You'll never duplicate it because it isn't real.
