All the Trappings!










I collect images of things that excite me. Recently I've been very interested in the bizarre. Not the kind that is vomit inducing or photoshopped. The type of strange that might currently be illegal to recreate. This grizzly bear chair below, for instance, is both un-p.c. and amazing...As always portraiture can be some of the most fascinating photography. On second thought this post is probably about things that have a lot of hair... Didn't even realize until just now. I now see that the biker dude is somewhat out of place. But in my opinion he's sort of a mid-century Wild-Bill. No?

Looking at these photo's (yes, even the bearded lady) makes me feel a bit ashamed about the lack of inventive facial hair these days. Sure the standard beard is popular on the post undergrad set. Daring hipsters may dabble in the handle bar mustache. Its the sarcasm and irony behind it that upsets me. Why play it off as a joke when you can instead stand behind your facial hair with conviction. Young men of America should try to be a little more creative. Try out the massive side burn look perhaps. Why not? It's just hair.
