These pictures depict Oswald with the weapons which killed Tippit and Kennedy, along with a leftist newspaper. Oswald claimed the photos were faked, and that his head had been superimposed on the body of someone else. When the photos were printed in Newsweek and Life magazine, people pointed out various irregularities that seemed to corrobate Oswald’s claim. In fact, the inconsistencies were caused by the publications themselves, who touched up the photos to make them more printworthy for a magazine cover. Oswald’s wife Marina swore she took them with Oswald’s camera, but many claim she must be mistaken, pointing out irregularities with shadows and proportions. Recent computer analysis of the photos and Oswald’s camera itself indicate the photos were taken with that camera and not modified thereafter. However, the camera does have the ability to create crude prints of other photos. Could the photos have been modified and then printed through Oswald’s camera? Unlikely, but a stark possibility.
