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

 I vetted the Altgens photo by recreating it. On the left is my recreation. It was shot in late November at 12:30 PM with a professional photographer shooting from Altgens' location. 

So, lower left, it's supposed to be the black man, Carl Jones. I had the man face east only because that's what we see in the Altgens photo. But, in reality. Carl was facing west since the limo had already passed. Carl was leaning against the wall, but the actor couldn't do that because they installed a handrail there, several inches from the wall. What I'm doing there is reaching for him, and I am stretching and straining, because I want to show that he was nowhere near me. Then, notice that Black Hole Man has a head; his entire head is not in inky black shadow, as in the Altgens photo. The man below him is mimicking what his counterpart in the Altgens photo is doing, but that was more flim-flam. In reality, that man was standing there with both arms folded across his chest.

Black Tie Man, who is next to me, is not cutting off my shoulder, and he and are touching, so we could not be closer.  The sheared, slashed interface between Doorman and Black Tie Man in the Altgens photo is an abberation. 

I did not include the tiny little woman who was visoring her eyes with one hand because I'm not sure she was even there. And the same goes for the black ladies beause they are the same black ladies that are in Croft who were on Elm St. below the Obelisk. So what are they doing way up where they are in this photo? If you placed women where the Croft Ladies were on Elm and then shot the Altgens photo. you would not capture them. 

What I have proven here with this recreation is that Black Tie Man is fake; he was not there at all. The geometry between him and Doorman in the Altgens photo is a grotesque abomination. And Black Hole Man was there, but he had a face, which was the face of Billy Lovelady. But, since they were turning Oswald into Lovelady, they had to blacken out Lovelady's real face because they couldn't have two of him. 

There is absolutely no doubt that the Altgens doorway was massively altered, and this proves it. The scan of the Altgens Doorway was by Dennis Cimino, and it is the best we have.
