The face of 2009
donderdag, december 31, 2009Dear visitors, starting from the new decade, Loggerhead will publish some stories in English now and then, as surfers from all over the world are finding their way to this site. Especially the picture of Tora Bora proved an attraction (see http://www.slagtekst.nl/tora-bora-acht-jaar-later).
As this is the last blog of 2009 and we are living in a visual age, I’d like to focus on the picture which more or less sums up the year. It’s the face of a person we usually see smiling all the time, as he is always doing well. At least, that’s the impression he likes to make. Now his daily success story has been disturbed by a fellow citizen who all of a sudden has punched a small statue in his face. And what do we see? A sort of devil has popped up. No big smile here, but a bloody, disturbed looking face, a wild man looking for revenge.
