While the nature of the subjects are starkly different, this image is similar in concept to Eugene Smith's famous photo of a Haitian patient in a mental hospital. (http://www.magnumphotos.com/Archive/C.aspx?VP=Mod_ViewBox.ViewBoxZoom_VPage&VBID=2K1HZO454XFYK&IT=ImageZoom01&PN=42&STM=T&DTTM=Image&SP=Album&IID=2S5RYD1TCLHN&SAKL=T&SGBT=T&DT=Image ) Both images are based on the interplay of light and shadow, and while the eyes in Smith's image speak of madness, the eyes of Pamela speak of curiosity and compassion.
