Image of the Kennedys greeting the crowd at Love Field

Original 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. This image shows President Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy 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. Both the left and right sides of this image overlap with images preceding and following it on the negative strip.

Curatorial Note:

The young woman in the center of the photo, visible between President Kennedy and his Secret Service agent, is holding an amateur home movie camera to her face. She appears to be in a wonderful position to have captured great footage of the President and Mrs. Kennedy at Love Field. As with many people in the crowds in Dallas that day, she remains unidentified and her film unknown.If you have any information that might help us identify people in the crowds, or if you know of still or moving images taken by a friend or family member that day, please contact us at collections@jfk.org. - Lindsey Richardson, Curator of Collections

The U.S. Secret Service agent next to President Kennedy, with a jacket over his arm, is Roy Kellerman, who sat in the front passenger seat of the Kennedy limousine during the Dallas parade. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
