| Impressive, but how can one sit with such a presence; either one of them? |
Some folks complain, "Why is this woman so bored?"
"How could she not smile?"
In my mind I ask other questions.
"Why should the model be expected to be smiling, and appearing gay and witty in the presence of so powerful a Medicine, a wild creature? Wouldn't that be rather trite? Why such an expectation from critics of photographers who pose models in provocative and challenging settings? What does it say about the viewer? What does it reveal about some viewer's ability, or inability to sit in another person's point of view, of reference?
Hmmm... Makes a thinker think." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3.27.13
