2024, “On the Outside Looking In?” What. A. Face! It might not quite match W. H. Auden’s, who famously quipped of his own face that it “looks like a wedding cake left out in the rain.” But still. Perhaps, though, you’re more concerned about the gun? And what of her other hand, which looks poised to pull a trigger, too? It seems as if she’s smiling but how does the photographer feel? Look closely, however, and you’ll notice that the gun’s a toy. Is it possible that subject and photographer are sharing an inside joke and that we’re the outsiders?
