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

Another way to describe the situation in Moorman is that JFK is the target of the photo, and Officer Hargis is the outlying figure. Assuming the distance to the target is shorter, he should loom larger in the photo than the outlying figure. 

In the Muchmore frame, Mary is closer to JFK than she is to Hargis.

The Mary-Hargis line is longer than the Mary-JFK line. So, JFK should be larger. Here is an example of that:

You know who the target is. You can see that he's centered.  He is also in focus, and Mary said she did focus on the Kennedys. The umpire in black on the right is the outlying figure. Besides being blurred, he is much smaller than the central figure. Now, I realize that he is deep to the player, whereas Hargis was not deep to the Kennedys. But, he was to the right of the Kennedys, and if Mary shot the Kennedys when they were even with her, then her diagonal line to Hargis would have been longer, hence he should have been smaller in her photo.  

Now compare to the Moorman photo.

There is no central figure, and that's because the photo was not taken evenly but rather diagonally from behind. And Hargis looms much larger in the image than Kennedy. That was due entirely to his closeness to the photographer. There was a lineup that went Babushka, Hargis, Kennedy. So, Babushka had no choice but to capture Hargis larger.  But, Mary said that she took her photo evenly, meaning that the Kennedys were even with her. So, it wasn't a lineup; it was a triangle. It's not what she first said. At first, she said she was turned to the right and shot the Kennedys as they approached. 

And what's eerie is that she said that she hovered on the shutter for several seconds because "I wanted to make sure they were looking at me when I took the picture." 

 

What? Well, if that's true, then her picture must have shown them looking at her. And it makes perfect sense because she, naturally, wanted to capture their faces. Anyone would. 

But, the point is that if Tink were right that Mary shot them here:

then, the Kennedys would have been centered, and they would have loomed larger than Hargis from being closer to the camera. And we would not have the sense of looking at Hargis from behind. His face would be approaching from the right, in profile to us, similar to the umpire in the baseball photo.

That's how Mary would have captured Hargis, not like this:

Of course, Martin was there too, but you couldn't see either of their faces, The photographer was behind them and to their left, as they were looking right. Can't you see that that was the perspective of Babushka Lady? That's why the thumbprint had to be used. You don't believe it was an accident, do you? Mary could not have taken this photo.
