Photo Analysis #16 Like I have said before, I really like analyzing pictures and photographs that show things that I would never think to create. This is an artist creating portraits of people on potatoes. Looking at it, it kind of makes sense that potatoes would be compared to heads. Painting a portrait on a sphere is not always accurate, because no two people have exactly the same shape head. Every person’s head has a unique shape. These potatoes are like that, they give the face that is painted on them a character, a personality. I have an idea of what these people - or potatoes may be like and I have no idea what their bodies - or their real heads for that matter even look like. It is really strange.  This is exactly what I like. I saw this picture of faces on potatoes and I started thinking deeper into it. I love photographs that make me think like this, it makes me wish I took picture like this.
