Untitled (scientists looking into pool of water at research facility) c. 1950

Editor: This is an intriguing photograph, "Untitled (scientists looking into pool of water at research facility)" by Jack Gould. It's a small color print and I'm immediately struck by the almost sci-fi feel. What's your take on this image? Curator: You know, it whispers of a bygone era, doesn't it? That cool blue glow, those figures peering into the unknown... I imagine a narrative, a silent film still of Cold War anxieties and scientific ambition swirling together. It's a little unnerving, in a captivating way. What secrets do you think are held in that pool? Editor: That's a great point! It feels like there's a sense of mystery. Thanks, that was really insightful. Curator: My pleasure, every image tells a story if we're willing to listen.
