Sometimes something that feels authentic is revealed and in order to recognize that,&nbsp; writers and photographers have to pay attention to what&#8217;s on stage. Not to do so would be to cover sport without acknowledging the game itself.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, journalists look for stories &#8220;off stage&#8221;, revealing the ways in which the event is constructed, looking for the cracks that the very polished machine cannot account for. Sometimes the pictures that change public perception are fairly transparent renderings of the politician&#8217;s own misstep (Dukakis in a tank; GWB&#8217;s &#8220;Mission Accomplished&#8221;); sometimes they are the result of the photographer&#8217;s desire and ability to comment and raise questions about what&#8217;s really happening. The 2003 picture of a student wearing a t-shirt reading&nbsp; &#8220;blah blah blah&#8221;, listening to John Kerry is visually pointed but doesn&#8217;t work the same as the tank or the Mission Accomplished banner; the editorial comment in the Kerry picture is a carefully constructed sight gag while the other pictures are more of the &#8220;give &#8217;em enough rope and they&#8217;ll hang themselves&#8221; variety.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/0802_report_kerry_200.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dan Habib, Concord Monitor: John Kerry 2003\" title=\"Dan Habib, Concord Monitor: John Kerry 2003\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The very structured, orchestrated nature of these events offer opportunities to look for the cracks that reveal the constructions and thereby comment powerfully.<\/p>\n<p>And then, there is Chris Morris&#8217; project <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hastedhunt.com\/photos.php?a=christopher_morris&amp;i=56680\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Hasted Hunt: Chris Morris\">My America<\/a><\/em>, a great example of a consistent and thorough look at the way these constructions envelop the people who participate in them.
