Image of a camera misfire

Original 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer, most likely Bob Jackson. This image shows a camera misfire of what appears to be the Parkland Hospital roofline.Photographers would sometimes snap a photo of nothing in particular just to make sure that the film was advancing through the camera properly. It is not known whether this misfire was deliberate or accidental. Because this shot is the first picture on the roll, it seems more likely to have been a deliberate misfire.
