...grant money, but Cameron made it easy for the researchers from NASA and various universities who co-star with him in the movie. He took them along on 40 dives to vents in the Atlantic and Pacific and filmed the objects of their study with his custom-made, ultrasharp 3-D camera system. To get to where the action is--two miles down in some cases--Cameron used four manned submersible craft and a remotely operated vehicle that was built by the director's brother.

His blank backgrounds suggest elemental truthfulness. If this is not a straightforward picture of the West, what could be? But those optical certainties are a tease. Avedon makes that explicit in the foreword to a recently published volume of these pictures (Abrams; $40). "A portrait photographer depends upon another person to complete his picture," he writes.
