Document Summary
Seems to give sense of who this person is. Tension: unsure of what facial expression to use. Pale, frail : all things that fall into dickinson persona. Breaks down imaginary image of dickinson had perceived before: consolidates so many ideas of what she was like, plays into a number of preconceptions of who she is/might be. Turner: wearing black, husband died 2 years before this photo. Changes perception again: studious solitude vs, capable of having relationships ties to other ppl. Arm placed behind touching kate turner: homoeroticism between men historically different b/w women, certain level of distance. Facial expression: looks as if dickinson is smirking. How figured out dickinson: optical recognition software apply to photo, fabric swatches from house, apply to her dress, how made, pictures of kate turner, know that they were close friends. Eye contact: dickinson looks like shes looking off of the camera, turner looking directly into lens , looking at parallel tracks.
