Two Face


King Georgie


W is for "Witchy"

I was working on a series of photographs of Bush's televised acceptance speech, but I became increasingly transfixed by this photograph:


two face

There is a remarkably contradictory expression here -- at once an an ugly, sadistic glee, and a pathetic regression to childish fear. Cover one side of the face or the other, and you can see the difference I tried to capture above. At the end of the day, I think the atavistic fear is the deeper emotion, because it appears without the malice, whereas the malice never appears without fear.
