What is striking to me in these photos is the fact that despite the many
many handlers and all the ropes, pulleys and machines surrounding these
giants, it's the figures themselves which are so compelling to the public.
This is something we as puppeteers understand--all the mechanics are somehow
invisible when the puppets/objects themselves evoke our humanity.
