PHOTO OF OSWALD IN TSBD WINDOW


Recommended Posts

In addition to adding Oswald's face to the Dillard photo of the TSBD, the photo-faker(s) also played around with the tinting of the picture. It almost looks like it's been colorized slightly (check the color of the sky on the far right). Or maybe a better term might be: it's been given a sepia type of hue.

The original photograph taken by Tom Dillard, of course, is a black-and-white picture (top photo below)....

A little help please: I’m unable to see the Oswald look-a-like being discussed. Assuming that I’m not alone, and assuming this could be a worthwhile discussion, would someone please post an outline of the person/fabricated-person in the window?

You're not alone, Tom. Yesterday, I couldn't find the "Oswald face" either. Now I can see it clear as a bell. And once you find the right place to look, you'll easily be able to see it again from then on, every time you look at this image.

I've added the yellow boxes around "Oswald" here....

And after looking at CE482 in the WC volumes again just now, I've got to tell you, I was quite surprised to find something in that same area of the window that generally lines up with the "Oswald face" in the "enhanced" and higher-quality image Vince Palamara posted yesterday.

I certainly wouldn't go so far as to call it a distinquishable "face" in CE482, but there are some similarities.

It could very well be that a photo-faker has merely "enhanced" the dirt on the window panes and turned the dirt into Lee Harvey Oswald's face. The person who "enhanced" the image likely used Oswald's mug shot. (See the montage photo that I made in my next post.)

So to my rather primitive way of thinking, unless someone (maybe someone on this very forum) can take the original image and convincingly show that with a little tweaking the Oswald-like image can be produced, the image under discussion is likely the result someone having their way with Photoshop.

This whole thing has gone "viral" (relatively speaking- within the community) on Facebook. Most think it is fake but some are adamant it is real or, at the very least, the original Dillard photo contains SOME kind of image of a face

I used to enjoy hunting for moles back in the day when they were good at remaining concealed. Today it has lost its challenge. You've taken the sport out of it. It's like hunting a deer with a broken leg. It just lays there.

Tom [Hume],

The window sills in the TSBD were very low, as we can see in the photos below (CE 488 and 489). Someone of Oswald's height (5-feet-9), when standing, would definitely reach the upper windows, as seen here:

I beg to differ, DVP.

For height comparison purposes, that's Bonnie Ray Williams on the left in the bottom photo you posted (CE489).

Taking the sharp angle of Dillard's camera into consideration, I think the person captured or placed in CE482 must have been taller than Bonnie Ray Williams in order to place his face in the center of that upper window.

Here is Bonnie Ray Williams waiting to get into a police car, with Danny Arce and Officer Brown(?) standing right behind him. I'm guessing that Oswald was much closer in height to Arce and Brown(?) than he was to the tallish Bonnie Ray Williams.

Tony Hunt has the photo that was used for this farce- whoever faked it (probably Blevins) reversed the photo of Oswald in custody between the old cop and the younger cop and used that photo for the fake. And another thing kills this "Oswald" photo- how could he be in the photo when he "needed" to be running, hiding the rifle, going down the steps, etc.? But the point is moot- Tony Hunt 100 percent debunked it.

Sorry, DVP; I know you are bummed :)
