Photo Prose



A simple idea. The ICP Museum invites eight writers to select and respond to a photo from its current Portraits from the ICP Collection show, and Diane Exavier selects a photo from Alonzo W. Jordan's Glenn Beatty's Funeral (1965). However, in the middle of her reading/description, Diane realizes that the picture projected is the wrong picture, which, given her description of what we thought we were seeing, makes sense. After a long pause she says, "This is the wrong photo. I mean, it's the right funeral, but it's the wrong photo."
