On Saturday, April 27, 2013, after a Slow Art Day, I got a few minutes with Kennedy assassination witness Mary Ann Moorman Krahmer. Mrs. Krahmer was gracious enough to be photographed and interviewed for my JFK book, Death By Holga: 11.22.63. Continue reading “Mary Ann Moorman”
I don’t normally experiment with my photographs. I like them exactly as they are shot. My usual enhancements are in line with what a darkroom technician can do. I adjust the color, improve the contrast and remove some of the dust. I don’t like cropping my images because Holga photographs display best when showing the entire image.

I started looking for any baby born at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas on November 11, 1963. My searching has been limited and not a full time endeavor. Since August 2010, I have only had one person contact me about being born in Dallas on that day. However, the person was not born at Parkland Hospital.

I have culled through some of the images from my Kennedy Assassination Tour Summer 2012 I took using my Nikon D7000. I like these shots, but I am really looking forward to seeing the film developed and scanned. I’ll be dropping off film on Monday, so I won’t start scanning until next weekend. Until then, I hope you enjoy some of these images. Continue reading “Photos from my Kennedy Assassination Tour Summer 2012”

Monday, July 2, 2012, marks the beginning of my Kennedy Assassination Tour Summer 2012 for my book, Death by Holga: 11.22.63. Initially, I was calling this jaunt around the country my Southwest by Southwest Tour, because of the airline I am using. But they are not paying me for any endorsement, so that title has been nixed.

I located Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) worker Billy Nolan Lovelady (1937-79) in the Van Alstyne Cemetery. Lovelady witnessed the assassination of President John F. Kennedy from the steps of the TSBD. He was photographed by several people who were filming the president as the motorcade proceeded down Elm Street.

Here are a few of my Nikon photos from my Washington, D.C. trip. I started with the Lincoln Memorial and worked my way down to the U.S. Capital building. I spend almost a whole day at Arlington National Cemetery, which opens at 8 a.m.
My Holga film is currently being developed. I should have those back and scanned next week. I hope you enjoy these shots. Cheers.

And so my JFK Project tour begins next week. I will start hunting down the people, places and things associated with the Kennedy assassination. I have been doing this locally for the last year, but now it is time to venture outside the Lone Star State (see Death by Holga Road Trip before Thanksgiving).

I will be visiting Washington, D.C. over spring break this year. My wife and I are currently researching the area for sights, hotels and places to eat. We want to stay close to the metro system and some good restaurants. A room with a view is probably out of the question. Continue reading “Washington, D.C. Trip Planning”
