Colorized Photo of Lee Oswald

[John McAdams]

A very good job of colorizing a black and white photo of Lee Oswald in
custody.

Of course, I'm not convinced that this sort of thing should ever be
done, therefore I'm not bowled over by the technical sophistication
required to do it.

I've always wondered who the guy behind Oswald wearing the glasses is.
Anybody know?

The color photo has been altered.

Proof that the assassination was "the most photographically altered event
in history".

I've seen the Churchill pic before. Unsurprisingly,it is my favourite one.
I did not recognise Jimmy Stewart,even though he is one of my top three
actors of all time.And by all accounts,a very fine man,too.

Einstein's photo proves the old adage that you =can= look suave in brown -
but only if you're Gregory Peck !

Only now as I write does an odd coincidence occur to me : many of the
subjects would be on my fantasy dinner-party guest list.

I can see why you might not be too keen on colorisation. But for me,the
photos enhance the reality of history. Oh well,each to their own.

Oswald's raggedy shirt does come through.

Torn shirt, torn sweater, no car, no home, no phone, no typewriter, no
stocks or bonds or wealth, no savings account..... He had nothing.

Oswald was desperately poor all the time he was in the US. Not a little
poor; desperately so.

And yet he's an important CIA officer sent to infiltrate the Soviet Union?
In the middle of the Cold War? That's pretty important. And then he was
going to go to Cuba to kill Castro? Or was he working for the FBI
infiltrating left wing groups (how many did he infiltrate?: zero).

Was he doing all of this for free?

Or is it he didn't want to live a lavish lifestyle - like have a phone -
because that would reveal his secret life working for the CIA? I guess if
he had a old 1955 Chevy with 200,000 miles on it the neighbors would
conclude that he got it for his CIA work?

At some point the conspiracy advocates have to confront logic and facts.

Dont' they?

I was surprised to find that there's a color photo of Oswald listed
on the City of Dallas website. It's not visible there but I think this
is it:

It fits the description given at the Dallas site:

Jean,

Was there a profile mugshot too? Notice how tan his arms, neck, and face are. Wonder if that came from his Mexico City trip?

[Anthony Marsh]

Can you show me a way to colorize a black and white photo without using
a computer?

[Anthony Marsh]

Do you know anything about photography or computers?
Can you explain how to colorize a black and white photo without using a
computer?

Well, it's been 50 years so maybe someday soon they will, but I'm not holding my breath.

What do you want to do, blow his cover?

My father worked for the CIA for $1 a year.
It's not about the money. Maybe everything is only about the money for
you, but some people are patriotic.

It was the flashy new car that tipped off the CIA about Aldrich Ames.

Some of us have real world experience rather than just guessing as you do.

This was on that interweb thingy,which you can get (allegedly) off one of
them computer thingies.

Facetious : I believe that is the shortest word in the English language
with all five vowels in alphabetical order.
