Abstract
In the 1943 Alfred Hitchcock film, Shadow of a Doubt, a handsome, young Uncle Charlie visits his sister’s family, including a teenage niece, in the suburbs. Soon after Uncle Charlie’s arrival, the niece notices an unusual quirk: more than camera shy, Uncle Charlie refuses to be caught on film at all. Uncle Charlie steps out of frame whenever a photographer appears, and when a stranger tries to snap his photo on the sidewalk, Charlie grabs the camera and exposes the film. Spoiler alert: Uncle Charlie is a criminal on the run. Not long ago, with a little effort, it was possible to go one’s entire life without leaving a photographic trace.
