Analogon and Scope

After I just happened to be looking back on a few notes I plunked down this time last September, I caught wind of Daily Kos' entry predicting Bush's impending outrage over wide-angle lenses (via). The set of images is compelling for its amplification of invented moments--the pose, the emptied site, the performance of sorrow (not that I mean to question anyone's convictions, only to point out that the staged scene interpenetrates the actors, perhaps even mocks them in their vacant, stolid surroundings).
