In a 2004 oral history with the Museum, Winfrey recalled taking a series of photographs of the area in the hopes of creating a panoramic perspective of the site. Ultimately, he decided not to print the photographs. "I never printed them," he recalled. "It's a lot of work to print them, and who needs them?" Today, these images offer interesting and historically significant views of Dealey Plaza from several rarely seen vantage points. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
