Response to Portrait Without A Person?

from Struan Gray (struan.gray@sljus.lu.se)
The description helps narrow down the possibilities, but the image niggles nevertheless. The parchment-scroll format of the paper and the tiny size of the writing make this look like some oldy-worldy study of Amish/Mission/Schoolhouse simplicity. But juuuust as the photo teeters on the edge of easy explanation, there's that pen. Disposble; plastic; out of place. What's going on here?

But I can't see it as a portrait without the extra context. Other photos could easily replace your text if you want to remain pure and unsullied by the demon word.
