Brian Corbett All right, I'll get real specific 'cause of your dull mind. Yes, the light/dark contrast of Doorman's shirt conflicts with Oswald's. But, you have to be smart about it. It's an extreme blow-up. The whole vast Altgens photo was only 2 inches by 3 inches. So, imagine how small Doorman was in it. So, he is a huge blowup, and that causes distortion. Plus, Oswald was outside at the time under sunny conditions, which caused light reflection. So, that too was part of it: light reflection. Then, the third consideration is that the Altgens photo is the most altered photo in the history of photography, and we know they were trying to represent him as Lovelady. So, some of that contrast may be intentional shit that "they" did. But, when you look at the form, lay, and fit of the shirt, and the collar, it is the same fucking shirt. And the same goes for the t-shirt. There is so much that does match between them that it goes way past the threshold of confirmation that it's the same guy wearing the same clothes. You have to admit that their clothes do seem to be alike, and it's a big world of clothes out there. The idea that Oswald and Lovelady just happened to dress that much alike is ridiculous and preposterous. Plus, there are other image comparisons besides this one, and collectively they make it a lock that Oswald was Doorman. Same man/same clothes. And now, I'm going to make you famous.
