We want to believe that I have captured a real feeling of fear in this photo. I want to believe it. I love the photo because I believe it. But that is belief, not knowledge. If I were a time traveling Dr. Doolittle and went back to this moment, and found out that Sophie was merely constipated, does that destroy the image? I don’t think so. In the world of theater, they call it the suspension of disbelief. We don’t have to trust art. If art allows us to suspend disbelief, it’s done its job and we can enjoy the result.
original notes:
sophie hiding underneath the grill. I think Darcy was under there too. they knew Irene was coming.
calculations to b/w. dodged the eyes to make them pop more.
