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

Howard Blenner is doing some good work over on McAdams' forum. He put up these images of Oswald. On the right is from Dallas; center is from New Orleans when he was 9 pounds heavier than Dallas; and left is supposedly from Minsk. 

I say supposedly because I have never been comfortable with that image. It just doesn't look like Oswald. He seems too stocky. His posture is different; he is extending his head on his neck. His nose seems wrong. I'm just not buying it. 

One thing is for sure: if you are going to look at images of Oswald without considering the possibility of photographic alteration then you are looking at them blind. 

Here it is alongside another image of him from Minsk. 

Now, that looks like Oswald on the right, and he looks typically thin. Obviously, the guy on the left was much huskier. Could Oswald's weight have fluctuated that much in Russia? Again, I think there is a very different head/neck balance between the two of them.  Their hair is parted on opposite sides. 

That settles it for me: that left image is bogus. The noses are different. And look at the difference in the lip pursing. Oswald, on the right, had a strong habit of pursing down hard, which you see him doing on the right. But, he's not doing it at all on the left. The right ears are different with a thicker helix on the guy on the left and more pitch on Oswald on the right.

So, who is that guy on the left? It may be the other Oswald, "Lee" as per John Armstrong. How did he wind up in Minsk? He didn't. But, the other possibility is that it's another composite photo with "Lee" on our left and "Harvey" on our right. The most famous composite photo is this one:

 Of course, this one is bad. Look how the hairline zig-zags, and look how different the tone of the skin is. You can really see how they stuck those two pieces together. It's "Lee" on our left and "Harvey" on our right. Awful, isn't it?
