ABSTRACT
Editors placing illustrations and photographs may decide to alter their shape and content by cropping, or drawing new borders on the image to exclude parts of it. They may enlarge or reduce the images' overall size. The photographer frames an image by looking at its shape through the "eye" of the camera. The angle of that line of vision is of great interest to the editor. Photography is able to freeze action sequences and hold them for extended viewing in a way impossible for the human eye. Photographers from earlier eras up to the present have preserved stunning sequences of the myriad separate motions involved in a person running, a horse leaping, a drop of milk hitting a bowl of liquid, a cat lapping up milk. Some people love to look at cats, but it seems that many more love dogs, and all love looking at other people, including children.
