Found Faces

I found this face when I was cutting a potato! 

I love its shape, contour, and expression. Also, it made some tasty home fries! 

Then, the plastic thingy that held two juice bottles together makes the coolest pair of weirdo glasses! I need to find a way to strap them around my head before I can rock them in public. But you can kinda get the idea here... with this little note that I wrote... 

I'm Mad As Hell!!!

How frustrating would it be to be a a pissed-off dolphin? I'm sure a lot of them are, but their facial architecture makes them look like they are always smiling. As someone who's fascinated with faces and facial expressions, I really sympathize with their plight.

The same goes for the Mexican Walking Fish also pictured here. This creature is on the verge of extinction, and therefore has every reason to be hacked off. But the poor thing can only smile demurely and posture like it's on the verge of doing a joyous little dance.

"Go to Hell!"

"Eff Off!!!"

Faces in Public Spaces - Part Three

I shot these photos in Paris on Rue Poulet, a strange, deserted side street with many wig shops that all seemed closed despite it being mid-day...

 

Faces in Public Spaces - Part Two

I took these photos of Benny Bufano's sculpture, "Madonna Protects the Children of the World," in Fort Mason Park, San Francisco. I love the 4-eyed face that's in mosaic, even though I get a little nauseous looking at it. I also love the clean simplicity of the Madonna face.

Faces in Public Spaces - Part One

The neighborhood of Montmartre is the highest point in Paris, so you have to climb this really long, labyrinthian, staircase in order to exit the subway station there. Fortunately, the walls are lined with these awesome, brightly painted murals of deranged, creepy children. I love the messy, textured style, and how the blue really pops.
