" In a few hours, I would meet this man, who would then no longer be a name and a photograph, a list of actions and accusations, but a person in the world. I didn't know if I was prepared for that, it seemed almost impossible to fathom — at some point he had crossed a boundary and his personhood had been hollowed out. Maybe the indeterminacy of the
photograph was accurate, and was in fact preparing me for the nature of the encounter to come. "
