I have consulted with a Physics professor from Florida about the Moorman photo. He is not a JFK person, and that's good because it means he has no bias.  

So, I showed him the photo, which he knew nothing about, and I asked him what he could determine about the location of the photographer. So, he drew this map:


So, the circle on the bottom left represents the location of the photographer, which he gleaned just from looking at the photo.  He drew it without knowing anything about Mary Moorman, the Babushka Lady, or anything else.

Then, I showed him the Muchmore film and he stopped it at the frame that corresponds to the Moorman photo, and he said that this is when it was taken, by Babushka Lady.  



He also drew this diagram to show that a picture taken by Mary Moorman would have resulted in Jackie obscuring Mary's view of Kennedy to a great extent. The effect would have been to visually compress JFK and Jackie in the picture, meaning less "apparent" distance between them, and with less exposure of JFK. 





Notice that he drew two lines within each visual pathway and that the lines of wider, more stretched for Babushka Lady. His point was to demonstrate that there would be, visually, more space between Jackie and JFK for Babushka Lady than for Mary Moorman. 

And here's the clincher. He realized that we were comparing the Moorman photo to the Muchmore film, and the comparison is very good.  



So then, he wanted to know where Muchmore was, and I showed him this plat. 



That did it. He put his pen down. He was done. It was Babushka Lady for sure. Definitely, absolutely, and positively Babushka Lady took the Moorman photo according to this professor of physics. I'm not going to give his name but, he is currently a professor of physics at a Florida college.  

Another thing he pointed out is that the line of the car not being parallel with the bottom edge of the picture proves that the person who took the picture was not facing Elm Street perpendicularly. 


Do you see how those two lines are not parallel? He explained to me that the angle between those two lines (and there is an angle there because if we continued those two lines they would meet) is equal to the angle at which the photographer was deviating from facing Elm Street perpendicularly. 

Then, he and I together watched the Zapruder, Nix, and Muchmore films which show that Mary Moorman always faced Elm Street perpendicularly. She never turned. And that means that she could not have taken the Moorman photo.
