 “Joel Strong, a locations scout and talent manager based in the city. Armed with various Leo cut-outs, clipped from books and magazines, and his smartphone, Strong takes to the streets, manually superimposing little Leos from different stages of the actor’s career into everyday settings. The results are hilarious, and are uploaded for Instagrammers’ delectation to Strong’s account, @mydaywithleo. A Man in the Iron Mask Leo tops the body of a casual scooterer; a smouldering Romeo Leo hangs out in the subway; a grandma finds her head replaced by a baby-faced This Boy’s Life Leo; wherever Strong lays his Leos, magic occurs. “

If you haven’t seen this yet, please, go watch it.

You will love it.       LOVE IT.

It’s on Netflix. When Bill was home from work last week we watched it, and I can’t stop thinking about it. He has such a joyful way of working, and of going through life. It will make you smile again and again.

Screen Shot 2014-03-28 at 8.53.12 AMThroughout the 1950’s, 60’s, and early 70’s, Ralph Eugene Meatyard created a series of photographs titled “The Family Album of Lucybelle Crater” in which he photographed his wife wearing an old hag’s mask in the role of Lucybelle Crater, along with other Meatyard family members and friends who are also wearing masks. The resulting images are both comical and grotesque with an underlying strangeness that is visually intriguing.
