Facing a Visual Culture
by posthumous

Comment:
hey guys, don't you see that the girl is blind?! So her stick in front of her face, and the fat lady are all distractions for us, and not for her. I guess that is the point of the photo, and the point well made. The girl is utterly inside her own world, so she does not really care abuot her own facial expression either - why would she smile if she can't possible see anybody smile back? The other interesting juxtaposition here is that everybody else in the frame is looking somewhere, except for her. The dark shadows on her eyes add to this feeling of solitude.

Interesting and thoughtful shot, Don.

Alice, thank you for the comment, and the suggestion. I tried it and I think I agree with you, it does look better with the chair seat cropped out. Thanks!

Charlie Chaplin "The Golden Rush"

Adrian, thanks for the nice comment! You are exactly right - I do look more like middle-aged Einstein here than Charlie Chaplin. In fact this should not be entirely surprising to me since my dad (who incidentally is a physicist as well) looks a lot like Einstein in his later years.

Adrian,
thanks for a wonderful comment! This is most definitely not posed, I actually had to be very quick and surreptitious not to disturb them, which is not always easy with a big SLR camera. But these guys were indeed quite absorbed in whatever they were reading, so they did not even notice me standing only some 3-5 m away. I agree that this scene is a tad sad, a tad humorous, but oddly touching as well, that's why I like it.

Pozdravlyayu, krasavitsa! Nice idea!

I tried to make sense out of this derivation, but could not quite follow the logic. What is the problem he is solving? :)
