Caught between two mammoth boulders in Devil’s Den was the lifeless body of a lone Confederate. His musket leaned against a constructed stone wall, his empty cartridge box was lying open by his side, and his knapsack rested under his head. This scene is perhaps the most famous of all the Gettysburg photographs, a poignant image that in its cold, lonely rendering of death conveys the tragedy and horror of men killing each other.
Your new book, which seeks out the elusive truth behind several famous photographs, is called Believing is Seeing: Observations on the Mysteries of Photography. Tell us about the book and what its title means to you. We think we know what we’re looking at when we look at a photograph. We think we’re looking at something objective. We think we can see reality. But often we’re just looking back at ourselves rather than out into the world. We are reinforcing our beliefs with what we see.
