Peter finds a smoking gun and Wally couldn't find his ass if it was on fire.

Thank you for presenting the negative image ....  That image makes it very clear that someone was holding a long slender object, like a rifle, next to the box in the window.   

The Powell photo was intended to be photographic proof that Lee Harrrrrrvey Osssssswald had been caught in the act of murdering the President.   And if the sequence of the vehicles in the parade hadn't gotten scrambled that photo would have been printed on the front page of every newspaper in the country.  However The photographers car had been placed just a few cars behind the Lincoln and thus Dillard was in perfect position to take a photo that is very similar to the Powell photo, and Dillard's photo shows that there was NOBODY in that window at the time ....and Dillard's photo is in total conflict with Powell's photo.   

The conspirators knew that they dare not let the public see the staged photo that Powell had snapped....so the hid it away until the big lie had taken solid roots.

The negative image actually enhances the clarity of the image..... What is dark in the photo becomes light in the negative and that makes it clear that there is "something" that looks like a rifle on the east side of the box in the sixth floor window.

I've never put too much significance on the fact that photos of the TSBD taken from Houston Street do not show anyone in the sniper's nest.  If you've visited the 6th Floor Museum you can see that there was plenty of room between the widow and the wall (even with some water pipes in place) for a man the size of LHO (for example) to sit and be totally hidden from view.  If indeed the shooter all along intended to wait until the limo had turned left on Elm there would be no reason to expose himself while the limo was on Houston.  If the shooter wanted to see where the limo was on Houston, he could have stood back from the window in the shadows and gotten a great view.

All in all, I don't think the absence of a person in the sniper's nest window while the limo was on Houston proves anything one way or the other.

Proves anything? That would depend on where you feel the position of the limo is. Meaning, for example, when the Hughes film stops where exactly is the position of the limo while at the same time you see the 6th-floor window empty. When the Hughes film stops the limo is on ELM in front of the  TSBD main entrance. Seconds later the first shot, but how many seconds? Because of course, he knows the Hughes film stops and only has a few seconds to come out of the shadows to position himself in the window and fire off the shots. The shooter wouldn't have time to just shoot at the floor. If it was Annie Oakley, then maybe

The sixth floor windows had nobody behind them at the time the shots were fired.    It does appear that there was "someone" there a couple of minutes before the shooting....and James Powell snapped the photo of the rifle being stuck out of the window.    Weaver also snapped a photo that reveals a rifle protruding from the window....

I may need an eye exam I just can not see it in Weaver's photo

Don't strain your eyes.....Weaver was using a Polaroid camera, and the photo isn't the greatest .... But a few years back, some shutterbug enlarged the Weaver photo and there is "something" protruding out of the window....It corresponds to the "something" in Powell's photo.

Let's see the enlargement.
