I've loved the Disfarmer work since I saw it when it was unveiled with a lot
of fanfare in Modern Photography (if I remember right) by the Scully's
sometime in the 1970's. I'm quite sure there was a bruhaha about the story
and pictures having been "faked". This wasn't the least bit credible to me
at the time simply looking at reproductions in a magazine--anyone who could
stage this as fiction would instead be making a fortune as a movie
director--but I wonder what ever became of that fuss? I think the pictures
are wonderful in the context of Disfarmer's biography. If that biography is
false, I'd have to admit they're equally wonderful in a different
way.---Carl
