The stage above holds one photograph. It opens on the eyes, set in type: the page averages the light in each cell and sets the character that carries that much ink, from nothing to @. Scroll, and the view pulls back. The characters keep their size while they come to describe more of the animal, so detail arrives as the whole face comes into view, still in type. Scroll once more and the photograph is simply there. Scroll back up and it returns to the eyes.

The photograph was generated for this page. Swap it for another and the whole sequence rebuilds itself, which is the point: any picture a studio is handed can arrive this way.
