Image 6 from Negative Strip 44: Dealey Plaza of Dallas Sheriff Bill Decker
Original 35mm black and white negative taken by Dallas Times Herald staff photographer Andy Hanson. The image shows Dallas Sheriff Bill Decker speaking to reporters while awaiting the arrival of Lee Harvey Oswald outside the Sheriff's office on November 24, 1963. The negative is on Kodak Tri-X Pan Film. This image is labeled #6 on section 1 of negative strip 44.The old TMS record for the images on this negative strip identified the photographer as Andy Hanson. Based on research conducted by collections intern Mark Davies in June and July 2012, curatorial and collections staff concluded that it is not possible to say at this time whether the photos of this strip and of Negative Strip 45 were taken by Andy Hanson or by Eamon Kennedy. We concluded that the photos were taken by one of those two men and both strips were taken by the same photographer.
