...Romney is the most perfect iteration I've seen of the television-era candidate. At one point, I squinted a bit and saw him in the middle distance: blue suit, white shirt, red tie, high forehead, slick black hair, tan, tall and ramrod straight - he could have been an exhibit in some future Museum of Natural History: Politicianus americanus. Matt Lauer and a Today show crew were following him around, and at the high school speech Romney did a slightly cheesy thing, inviting Lauer on stage, amping his candidacy with a.m. glitz.

...exhibit has another revealing picture, the only one not printed or shot by Atget himself. It is a 1927 portrait of him, looking stooped and weary at age 70, by an American friend, Berenice Abbott. When she stopped by his flat a few months later to deliver it, he was dead. His passing went largely unmarked outside the circle of curators who had bought his albums and kept them interred, mostly unseen, in their archives. Atget would likely have been indifferent to such obscurity, given his preference for work over fame. "This enormous artistic and documentary collection is now finished...
