The street is an every changing canvas for the photographer. The
camera loves faces and the renderings they cast off both real and imagined. Faces
define us, a person in a sea of humanity. They are the outward appearance of who
we are and can be; proud, frightful, fierce, strong, wise, trustworthy and not.
We hope our face will bring us fame, to have value and standing, and we never
want to lose face. We concentrate endlessly on our faces; spend huge amounts of
money on cosmetics, lifts, enhancements to make them better. It is little
wonder that faces adorn street art to draw our attention. Sometimes just for
art itself, more often to promote a social cause, political agenda, sell a
product or build a presence. Iconic faces find their way to the mix as well as
those wanting to become iconic. Like all faces, the time and city wear on the
crisp image adding lines, creases, blemishes and tears that give new art to us
as in real life.
