I like this image as well, Annie -- usually costumed models are in celebratory mood, hiding behind their disguise. But you confront us with sadness. It's as if you are hiding behind your anonymity. I know you liked my student sheena's black mask athttp://www.pbase.com/xinliualbum/image/55631265 She masks her entire being in fantasy in that one. Why don't you do a series on Annie's masks? You can create your own customized faces using makeup as well. After all, it's October, right? It will teach you much about incongruity, abstraction, and human values.
