    Today’s photograph reveals one of the secrets of glamour photography. The depth of field and focus are very narrow, with the focus sharpest on the eyes. Everything closer to us is slightly softened so that imperfections rarely register.

    Of course! The archeologist who goes insane at his Egyptian dig in the creepy prologue to Karl Freund’s hypnotic, ‘The Mummy’. Should have recognized him.
