Mr. Eisenberg. Could you briefly give us your qualifications as an expert in photography, Mr. Shaneyfelt?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. Yes; I have been in photographic work since about 1937. I started working with the FBI in 1940. Three years prior to this I had worked as a newspaper photographer in Hastings, Nebr., and on entering the FBI I worked in the photographic section of the FBI for about 8 years before I became a special agent. I became an agent in 1951, spent a year in Detroit as a field investigator, and then was returned to the laboratory and assigned as a document examiner. I was also assigned cases involving photographic examinations, because of my extensive experience in photography.
I have a B.C.S. degree from Southeastern University here in Washington.
Mr. Eisenberg. Can you estimate the number of photographic examinations you have made?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. This would be just an estimate. I would estimate approximately 100, between 100 and 300. I couldn't come any closer than that.
Mr. Eisenberg. Have you testified in court on the subject?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. Yes; I have.
Mr. Eisenberg. Mr. Chairman, may this witness testify as an expert in the area of photography?
Mr. McCloy. Yes; I think he is qualified.
Mr. Eisenberg. Mr. Shaneyfelt, I now hand you two small photographs which have been already marked "Commission Exhibit 133," and I ask you whether you are familiar with these photographs?
