This tintype from the Esquire article that we looked at briefly in class is by a photographer named Victoria Will. You can see others in the series
here. This particular portrait will haunt me in light of Hoffman's tragic death this weekend. The question is now that we know his fate do we see foreshadowing in the image that wasn't there to begin with? Can the pain that emanates so strongly from the plate be attributed to hindsight? Food for thought.
