Picture Notes

What are you thinking? I’ve decided the next few photographs in this blog are going to be of people’s faces, sort of. I’m going to start out with a mask collection while I’m asking permission from everyone. To warm up to the subject, because I have thousands of photographs to choose from, I’m presenting this metal/glass face. This diver’s helmet was in a display at the Smithsonian Folk Life Festival last summer. Don’t we all sometimes wish that this was the face we present to the world, a face that hides what we are thinking and yet is still attractive and functional while being alien. I was told at a workshop that 93% of personal communications is non verbal, I’m not sure how that is broken down between body language and facial expressions but would guess that most of our communication is with our face. If we could look like this when playing cards we could all become champion poker players.
