<p>Here is the image they could have used. So why didn't they?</p><div></div>

<p>Thank you, Alan. Very valuable. What's weird is that they used such a poor image in the House Select Committee on Assassinations Report. Consider: it was reversed; it was severely darkened compared to the original; it was quite severely cropped; and because of the above, the gesture that Oswald was doing with his handcuffed hands was completely obliterated. So, I wonder why they used that image instead of the better one, which was available.</p><div></div>

<p>Sarah, thank you very much. You made my day. And I couldn't agree more that the likelihood of it happening 4 times by accident- where the photographer put the negative in the tray the wrong way- is untenable.<br>

And I'm glad you responded to the four points I made. And I see your point about there being no correct lighting, that it's whatever the photographer wants. Still, it's weird that any photographer would have wanted this one image so dark. It really did obscure the image.<br>

I am going to post them together: the original and the reversed one. I suspect that most people upon seeing the reversed one on the right would not associate it with the one on the left. If they thought about it a lot and compared them closely they would, but most people are not going to do that. It's hard to imagine what legitamate photographic reason there was to convert the left image into the right one, which someone obviously did on purpose.</p><div></div>

<p>Heaven forbid; don't want to bring the whole conspiracy debate here. Just want to analyze the photo. Was it deliberately flipped or do it happen by accident? That's the only question, not who killed Kennedy. So far, we have 4 photos of Oswald that were flipped. So is it likely that was done deliberately or purely by accident? That's really the only thing I'm asking.</p>

The malfeaseance of this first reversal that we found is unmistakable. Let us count the ways they altered the image.<br /><br />1) the reversal itself<br />2) the extreme darkening of it, as the original was altogether bright and illuminated<br />3) the wiping out of his raised hand, leaving only the faintest smudge of it<br />4) the unnecessary cropping of it<br /><br />http://tinypic.com/r/rbqo/6<br /><br />I think they were trying, first, to dissassociate the two images, and second, to create an image that would be discordant with the Doorway Man from the Altgens photo. The fact is that the original, nonreversed image is one of the very best matches we have between Oswald and Doorway Man, especially in regard to their clothes, but also in regard to their faces.<div></div>

<p>Now I have found a 4th image of Oswald that was flipped. This seems way beyond the margin of error for such a thing to have happened by accident. We are talking about images of one man taken over a span of just two days. How could there be so many "accidents" concentrated in that brief span of time. If they happened at that rate, we'd be seeing flipped pictuers all the time.</p><div></div>

<p>Here are two more flipped images of Oswalds. Do these also look like accidents?<br>

<p>So, the impression I am getting is that it was probably done on purpose and probably did not just happen by accident.</p>

<p>How often does it happen that photos get reversed, flipped from right to left, in traditional photography? I mean by accident, not on purpose. And I mean within the realm of professional photographers. <br>

The reason I ask is because I found three images of Lee Harvey Oswald, President Kennedy's alleged assassin, and these images are reversed, where it's the mirror image. For instance, they each show his right eye as traumatized when it was really his left eye that got injured. I am trying to determine whether the reversals happened by accident or on purpose.<br>

Are there any knowledgable opinions about this? Thank you.</p>
