Looks like these two were done in London. In both the Connallys are
missing. The first has the limo going the wrong way on Elm since the
grassy knoll is to the left of the limo.

I really like the second one. I guess they couldn't keep the garbage truck
off the motorcade route. The best part is it looks like somebody stole one
of the hubcaps.

I wonder what this recreation was done for.

The color photo of the limo was a promotion for Stephen King's 11.22.63.

I'd say the following lines are a bit of a stretch:

"The snapper is renowned for her elaborate 'spoof' productions, which give
an imaginary and amusing behind-the-scenes look into the world of
celebrities and royals.

Only on close scrutiny does it become evident that the shots were posed by
lookalikes."

There is nothing elaborate about how they staged these photos.

It didn't require close scrutiny to spot the flaws in the pictures.

I have no problem with accepting them for what they are, essentially a
practical joke, but let's not try to make more out of them than that.
Since one of the photos is a recreation of the shooting itself, that seems
kind of an odd thing to do in a spoof.

In the first photo, is that Jack Ruby riding shotgun in the front seat?
No, guess not -- Ruby didn't have that much hair. Mark
