Tim DeLisle, editor of
Intelligent Life, commented on the un-edited photo of Cate Blanchett, saying:
When other magazines photograph actresses, they routinely
end up running heavily Photoshopped images, with every last wrinkle
expunged. Their skin is rendered so improbably smooth that, with the
biggest stars, you wonder why the photographer didn't just do a shoot
with their waxwork.
A part of the answer is probably this : (quoted from James K. A. Smith)
It's not so much that we're intellectually convinced and then muster the
willpower to pursue what we ought; rather, at a precognitive level, we
are attracted to a vision of the good life that has been painted for us
in stories and myths, images and icons. It is not primarily our minds
that are captivated by rather our imaginations that are captured, and when the imagination is hooked, we're hooked.
