DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer, possibly Darryl Heikes. This image shows Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry and Dallas County Criminal District Attorney Henry Wade surrounded by reporters in the hallway at the Dallas Police Department headquarters. The image is dark and blurry.
Curatorial Commentary
It appears that this image is underexposed, producing a dark image because not enough light was allowed in to make the picture.  When Museum staff scanned this negative strip in 2012, they used photo editing software to try to correct the underexposure, allowing us to see some detail in the images that was not visible before.  - Katie Womack, Collections Manager
