DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by an unidentified Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. This image shows Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry speaking to reporters in the third floor hallway of the Dallas Police Department headquarters the day after the assassination.
Curatorial CommentaryPictures are overexposed when too much light enters the aperture, producing images that are washed out and lacking detail. Most of the images on this strip appear overly bright because they were overexposed. When Museum staff scanned this negative strip in 2012, they used photo editing software to try to correct the overexposure, allowing us to see some detail in the images that was not visible before. - Lindsey Richardson, Curator of Collections
