Specialist note

When you look at the photograph it all looks so easy. She spent two hours on a cement floor naked. The snake was going up on her shoulder and toward her face... She rose to the moment, I rose to the moment, the snake rose to the moment. And it was one of those absolutely magical things that happen when nothing you planned could equal the random accident of something beautiful.
