Faceless

Faceless Figures, Green Acres Canoe and Kayak, Harrison, OH  © Doug Hickok


I post this unusual image today because I have not done a Favorite Photographer Friday post in a long time. This kind of picture reminds me of the old master photographer of humor, strangeness and odd juxtapositions, Elliott Erwitt. In case you need a smile (or a cringe) today, below are two links to some of his better known photographs,
 here and here.

Hope you have a fun weekend.

  1. Lol, thanks for the morning smile.

    Re. autumn: same here, school starts on Monday but I can't relate to this end of summer thingy for two reasons: because I know it's still summer and because my summer holidays -sorry, vacation!- begin next week!!!

  5. I love this shot which is kind of strange because as a child I was scared of faceless images.

  6. These plywood facethrough boards are a hoot! We don't see them very often, though. Thanks for the Favorite Photographer segment; it helps to inpsire our creativity.

  11. Thanks for sharing those links. I don't remeber being aware of Erwitt, and I appreciate the humor and just plain strageness of some of his shots.
