Heavy symbolism of photography

Jeff Starrs,

Perhaps I shouldn't comment as I've only seen perhaps 30 minutes of "One Hour Photo", but I would say the ending is intended to be dark irony bacauase the photo of Williams on the desk symbolised the way Williams had penetrated the family and was in an abstract sense watching them through photos.

The photo is symbolic of the photgraph as a window into a private realm. It's a limited, predetermined, and framed view, and also has a kind of eerie presence. It means your image is frozen and transportable. Someone can study you and you don't know it. The perfect gift to help paranoids with their hobby!

Remember the reports of people who refuse to allow their picture to be taken because it steals their soul?

Cheers,

Bambi B
