The last photograph, for some reason, made me wildly happy.

Please stop using the word "iconic." It's overuse cheapens its definition. The photograph posted is striking, memorable, wrenching, even symbolic. But it is not iconic.

Why did Yale choose to paint the walls of the Trumbull Room rather than resurface them in a red wool fabric as Kahn specified?

Am curious as to the tone of this article, particularly the parsing of the photographer's online portfolio. By pointing out that the portfolio includes only 24 images that Poynter believes could be called "photojournalism," does that mean that Poynter is questioning his job description? It is an online portfolio, not a catalogue raisonée, so presumably shows varied aspects of his work as a photographer, whether snapshots he's pleased with to actual assignment photography. Also, another observation: Do these sorts of discussions happen when disturbing photographs are taken in a war or recording people fleeing a natural catastrophe, when, presumably, the photographers could have helped rather than snapped? Nick Ut's 1972 photograph of nine-year-old Kim Phuc during the Vietnam War, fleeing a napalm attack, comes to mind.

Not everybody on this planet needs hew to someone else's rules, limits, et cetera. It's what makes the world so fascinating. And why people want to read about individuals like Mme de Polignac.

Dear Lola L, You sound very much like an art collector I once crossed paths with, a lady who refused to collect any work of art, however exceptional, if every detail of the artist's life didn't measure up to her stringent codes of morality. (Meaning he couldn't have had any mistresses or illegitimate children or enjoyed alcohol too much or drugs, et cetera.) This obituary is splendid; the world is full of colorful people, and chaste ones, too. And it would be deeply, unpleasantly boring if they were all one or the other.

Curious, writerchris, you thought you saw Cyrus posed on a bed with satin sheets, as you stated in an earlier post ... and plainly one wasn't there. It was all in your mind. That's something worth pondering.

It's called perception versus reality. I was merely trying to point out to many commentators who think they saw something they didn't ... It is time people learned that the crop of a photography is not necessarily the actual image taken. And if one wants to think something is risqué when it isn't, that's a fault of overactive minds. As I said before: She is showing no more back than any girl at a beach or going to a cotillion. This entire situation has been blown up to an absurd degree. If anything, perhaps it will teach people a bit about photography and cropping and about what really is versus was really was.

I'm sort of amazed how outraged people have become over the cropped image shown in Vanity Fair ... when the reality is right there at http://www.jaunted.com/file... ... showing Cyrus on the set, with the photographer shooting, et ceera ... I have shown numerous people this image of the shoot taking place, and people who originally were furious suddenly just looked slackjawed and couldn't say anything other than, "Oh, that's what it really was" ... perception, people, isn't reality ...

I have looked at numerous images of that particular photograph ... tell me please ... where is the bed? To see the photo shoot taking place -- which shows Cyrus sitting on a high wood stool, wearing long pants, with a white cloak wrapped around her, in front of a seamless paper backdrop -- see this ... http://www.jaunted.com/file... ... people! do some research before you shoot off your mouths!!

"Topless" is not what she did. She bared no breasts. She showed no nipples. She did not dispense with a top and go au naturel, which is what "topless" means. She was covered, quite respectably, in a satin cloak. Only her back was bared. you see more startling skin exposure in high summer at the beach or on the red carpet on Oscar night. Why all the outrage?
