As always, I'm totally fascinated by your entry. I've never considered looking at faces in terms of photography - in terms of light and shadow - instead of as *faces*, complete, whole, a sum of their parts.
Instead of working, I ended up trying to take some black-and-white photos of parts of myself... *gg* I was so inspired by your entry.
I don't have a problem with faces, but I really need to do a reality-check on myself the next time I'm among people, to see whether I tend to categorize (and write them off as x or y) them as quickly and conclusively as you've described. It will be interesting to see...
I just *love* your entries... They always make me *think*. ^___^
