The Girl in the Photograph

I've referenced Stephen Poliakoff's film "Shooting the Past" before, and have written about the enigmatic power of 'orphaned' images; those whose context is unknown to the observer: also, how the narrative underlying an image can be known directly, indirectly, or in the case of the 'orphan', supposed.
