This Carte De Visite is a sham, like the man behind the camera who has absolutely no idea how to take a picture. The man in the picture was hired based on the delicate nature of his hands. His hands are soft, uncomfortably so. If he were to touch you with his soft hands, his touch would feel powdery and catch you off guard. I think your body would shudder in disgust yet something would possess you to calmly look the photographer in the eye and say "Sir, your hands are so soft that I would be surprised if you were able to produce a thumb print." In that instant you find yourself seduced by the Soft Hand Bandit and become a helpless subject before his lens.
You are so fucked up.

The images is more interesting when related to your odd text...I wonder if there is a satisfactory way to incorporate the text into the piece?

I think photography and text are necessary for this image.
ReplyDeleteThis text creates a narrative for this image.
Photographs and text exist together all the time in photojournalism..magazines....
The image does not stand alone I guess
