DescriptionOriginal 35 mm negative strip of Kodak Tri X Pan Film cut into two sections with 9 images. The images show the Kennedys greeting the crowd at Love Field 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. 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.
