Mr. McDONALD. Before the session, before you started taking these photographs, what was he doing?
Mrs. PORTER. Well, he just show me which button to push, you know.
That camera is much more difficult that that. Unlike "regular" cameras which are held to the face with a viewfinder showing the image correctly,this camera reverses the image and must be looked at from above, down into the camera.
Without a tripod and the reluctance she expressed AND the fact Oswald supposedly took the camera and wound it to the next frame before each photo... the images are crisp and clean, centered, and more in number than she remembers.
For a first time camera operator NOT to tell us about the difficulty of the upside-down image, holding the camera chest high and still being able to snap a quality photo is more proof to me that Marina was one of the most if not THE most fraudulently incriminating after the fact witness we have.
Finally, if there is only 1 negative left and only 2 found in the searches... 133-C in Roscoe White's widow's possession being the same exact pose as the Nov 29th recreation AND the cutout raises serious doubts that Marina was ever involved with these images...
I, too, doubt Marina had anything to do with these photos. She was terrified of being deported, in the custody of the SS/FBI immediately after the murder (for weeks), debriefed and questioned endless times.
Has Marina ever described the back yard photo(s)? I can hear those guys and gals now,: "hey girl, your gonna tell us, your hubbie had a rifle and you took a picture of him with the rifle, PERIOD! If not, you're on a slow boat Minsk, and your kids stay here in the custody of the state...
