Selfie With the Crowd in the Plaza Behind

What This Image Shows​

A medium close-up selfie: a smiling middle-aged man at the left of the frame, with a large crowd filling the paved plaza behind him and the multi-storey campus building rising around it under a partly cloudy sky.

Attendee snapshots like this are not evidence of anything in themselves, and the person in the frame is not identified here. What they contribute is incidental background - a dated, timestamped view of part of the plaza from a position no press photographer was standing in.

Across hundreds of such photographs, the incidental backgrounds are the material a full reconstruction would be built from, which is one reason the volume of unreleased attendee footage matters. See Media and Photos.
