Image of President Kennedy greeting the crowd at Love Field

Original 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. This image shows President Kennedy shaking hands with people among the crowd at the Love Field fence line on the morning of November 22, 1963. The images on this negative strip were taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. There were three photographers at Love Field that day: John Mazziotta, Bob Jackson and Eamon Kennedy. John Mazziotta appears in some of the pictures on this strip so the photographer must have been either Kennedy or Jackson. John Mazziotta is visible in this picture, in the bottom right corner, holding a camera in his hands. This negative strip was double-exposed, meaning the film did not advance through the camera correctly and images overlapped. Recent digital scans have allowed the Museum to isolate individual images on this negative strip for the first time. Both the left and right sides of this image overlap with images preceding and following it on the negative strip.
