we all present a face to the world. I've often been criticizd for presenting a comic mask. eyes wide & mouth open. that is part of who I am. the joyful part people expect. but every comic mask is twin to a tragic one.
Owen Masterson captures this other mask. here is the pain of heartache & betrayal depression & death. it's not as comfortable to gaze upon but it's real.

We are complicated creatures; we have many facets. Sometimes we must acknowledge the darker sparkle that compliments our lighter, buoyant self to be truly whole.
Your other self was a pleasure to capture.
Thank you for allowing me that opportunity.

A rich and beautiful photograph.
thx Tom. if you let it the camera sees everything.
second tom's emotion. what i see is a beautiful face. full of sadness, heartbreak & the hard-won pleasure of living in our beautiful, ruined world.
