MARY MOORMAN'S POLAROID PHOTO

MARY MOORMAN'S POLAROID PHOTO


At Z frame 313, JFK is shot in the head.


The result is horrific.  Blood & brain matter from this wound cover the car & its occupants.


Almost immediately, the President's body falls back & to the left. 


A photograph is taken by Mary Moorman which will appear in newspapers all over the world in the coming days.


The photo was made using a Polaroid camera.  The print pops out & develops in 60 seconds.  


Despite its poor resolution, the photograph has been studied & restudied over the past 47 years.
