Jean Hill
Have you ever thought about what that means?What all it tells you?
It tells you that there is a universal desire when you take someone's picture to capture his or her face. Faces. It's what picture-taking is all about.
Mary Moorman waited 2 1/2 hours to take a picture of JFK's face. And the idea that after waiting all that time that she would let him pass her by without taking the picture is preposterous. It is absurd.
But there is more! That statement by Jean Hill reveals more. Think about it a bit.
OK, are you ready?
The answer is that the very fact that she was able to talk to him at all with the expectation of him hearing her and responding accordingly and in time for a picture to be taken is evidence that the limousine must have been moving very, very slowly.
And I mean extremely slowly because even a relatively slow moving car would whiz by too fast to do any such a thing as talk to a passenger in the car, wait for a response, and then take a picture. That statement of Jean Hill is demonstrable proof that the limo was moving no faster than several miles per hour.
Everyone knows that when a person is passing you from right to left, your only chance to capture his face is when he is on your right. Waiting until he has passed you guarantees that you will only capture the back of his head, such as this:
Mary Moorman had her finger on the shutter button from the moment the limo turned onto Elm St. She watched the approaching motorcade through the viewfinder of her camera. That is what she said. The idea that she would have let the Kennedys pass her without snapping the shutter is ridiculous. Mary Moorman did not wait 2 1/2 hours to photograph the back of JFK's head. And, never has Mary Moorman said or demonstrated that she shot them from behind. The Moorman photo, however, was definitely taken from behind.
