Walking in San Francisco Part Five: Faces
The city is full of faces!
Faces on People:
There are thousands upon thousands of different faces on the people of San Francisco. This mans face is just one of many. Each face tells their own story. What clues can we gain from this man's face? His hair is very short. Probably he is the no nonsense type who doesn't want to fuss around with something such as hair. He likes short hair because you can just roll out of bed and presto!, you're ready to go. He is wearing sunglasses despite it being overcast and dreary. Maybe he has very sensitive eyes, or maybe he enjoys the feeling of incognito that sunglasses give. He likes that no one can see where his eyes are looking or what sort of feelings are flickering in them. His mouth is slightly frowning, but his face is relaxed. He's not sad, but maybe a little bored. He is waiting and tired of waiting so his face has slouched into a frown.
Faces on a table:
A bit of a strange sight to be walking down the street and then beholding a table for of blank, expressionless faces. It look like the setting for an episode of the Twilight Zone where all the eyes on the faces would open when people were not watching and it would be a metaphor for living in a society where we are constantly watched both willingly (social media) and unwillingly (government overreach with spying for security purposes.)
Faces on the ground:
This was on the ground to warn people that there was a track for a trolley car in front of them, as to avoid anyone accidentally stepping in front of a trolley car, hurtling their way, and then meeting their doom. All official government signs should make 'Look' signs that turn the O's into eyeballs. If a 'look' sign just says 'look' you are liable to just ignore it, as it will so easy blend into the rest of humdrum blur of the day. But eyeballs catch one's attention!
Those are just a few of the faces of San Francisco!
