Image of a camera misfire
One original 35 mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. The image appears to be a camera misfire. The image is blurry although part of a person's head and shoulders leaning against a wall below a window can be seen.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. Although the pictures on this negative strip have been attributed to photographer Andy Hanson in the past, curators have concluded that it is not possible at this time to say with any certainty who took them.
