It fascinates me how we are conditioned by the society we live in to form judgements on simple things based on rhetoric, we automatically take second hand information as verbatim, and it surprises me how many people don't question information, or keep open minded about situations, you can take a mundane subject, and depending on your upbringing, geological location, conditioning, have a completely different take on what you see, before you think I'm going all political, I want to say what prompted this image (apart from lack of sleep and lager), I've been getting into big brother again, sad as hell I know, but I'm pretty addicted to seeing how humans react to each other, the enclosed environment accentuates what we all do on a daily basis, and damn, I'm hooked, terrifying how easily the human psyche is manipulated

About the image, far from my best, it's a pretty simple looking portrait, didn't take me a great deal of time to do, but it's packed with contradictions, well, not contradictions, but it could be viewed differently quite easily depending on who's viewing it, I'm not going to prompt any views on it, but put it out there as a message to anyone viewing to recognise the slant that you automatically put upon it, and question it, and instill that into how you view other things around you too, keep open minded, and don't believe everything you see/hear, try to form judgements loosely, and based on personal experience rather than distortions of fact, if we all do that, the world would be a much better place.
