Clown photos of the day
I like the depth of this face created by the shadowing and the double eyebrow effect.
Click on this image to see a cool slideshow of kids being clowns:
"CARF's Hummingbird Project in São Paulo is constantly and firmly spreading its wings over the community, protecting children at risk from the perils of the streets, drugs, violence and abuse.
"13-year old Ítalo (left) is fifth generation circus artist and already a “master of his trade”. His father, Márcio, together with other circus youth, forms the supporting team in Circus Beija-Flor’s weekly training sessions. Brothers, 12-year old Tauan (Arrepiado) and 13-year old Wesley (Carequinha) are just two of the many kids under their skilled training......and I promise you, that’s no easy task!"
“Clowning is about the freedom that comes from a state of total, unconditional acceptance of our most authentic selves, warts and all. It offers us respite from our self-doubts and fears, and opens the door to joy. And the best part is, we are all already our clowns. They are here inside us, waiting for us to recognize them so that they can come out and play.”
From Philosophy of a Clown by Jan Henderson - Fool Moon Productions.
Here's another slideshow of clowing at a whole 'nother level. Someone apparently had a going-away party at a bar and made everyone wear clown noses.
I like exploring all the different ways people have fun with clowning - but also how perverted and scary they can make it (but we don't need to go there).
