Lost in La Mancha
In what has become a very unusual occurrence indeed, this photo features no editing; the image is completely "in-camera", as they say.
As for the title, here's the all-knowing and infallible Wikipedia:
Lost in La Mancha is a 2002 documentary film about Terry Gilliam's unfinished film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, a film adaptation of the novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. It was shot in 2000 during Gilliam's first attempt to make the film with the purpose of being its making-of, but Gilliam's failure in making the movie led it to be retitled Lost in la Mancha and to be released independently.
I have never seen the documentary in question, but I read about it several years ago, and I recall that the sound of a jet passing overhead was just one of the many anachronistic intrusions that ruined the film. It seemed a fitting title for this portrait, then, since jet streams mark the sky behind Tonto. Like I told a friend, it was profoundly selfish of those pilots to fly on a day I was photographing toys.
