  I am satisfied that this really is James Altgens in this photo.



So now, let's look at the whole picture. 


So, the sign isn't visible. We can barely see the lightpost on the far right, and the freeway sign was to the right of that. So, is it just out of view?


So, you see the sign, and you see the space that's west of the sign. So, if that other image is real, it means that all of it had to fit in west of that sign. 


Wait, that's impossible. It doesn't work at all because the lightpost is on the left, and everything in the image with Altgens is east of the lightpost. So, I'd have to move it there, to the left of the lightpost, and yet, it would take the whole pergola with it. So, it means that this image below is just plain bogus. 


The implication is that it's parallax that is keeping the sign out of view, but the parallax could not alter the visibility as much as this. It couldn't bend the image that much. It's just a bogus image. 

And by the way, Altgens said he left for the Dallas Morning News Building on foot right away, and you can see from his rotund shape, that sprinting wasn't a possibility. So, if he was milling around Elm Street at this late time, how could the Altgens photo in his camera have been wired out to the world at 1:03, as the story goes?
