Aint Life Funny

I have a thing about clowns. Believe that the potential to be evil is raised with clowns. This guy has an evil clown face. Clowns are supposed to bring joy, but scare so many. Its a lovely, fascinating paradox. Add in the wheelchair aspect & the baggage that goes along with it in the viewers minds & you have yet another paradox.

The expression on this guys face, mixed with his clown costume, and the sad realism of his condition is satirical. Lovely capture.

wow subject. jh

I would love to know the story behind this.

I think it makes for a better shot if the story is left to the imagination. In reality, the man was just one of the many clowns who participated in the 2004 Thanksgiving Day Parade in Detroit. By luck, I cought him off guard and took the shot before he had a chance to smile.

A wonderful portrait. Your caption is also well thought out, as this is the feeling conveyed by the man's expression. The subject matter is original and thought provoking. Good work.

Love the expression in his face.

Its like if he was wearing a mask of colors that hides sadness, tears, and hate. Congratulations
