If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.

Mugshot du jour




Silent fim star Lon Chaney, Sr. was known as the "The Man of a Thousand Faces" and lived up to it. He was the hearing son of Deaf parents and seeing his expressions one can see why he was able to communicate volumes with just his face. Facial grammar is an often ignored aspect of communication but it renders loads as a special aspect of body language. Look at these mugshots worth a thousand words.
