Six hours straight at the computer today and Joe' proofs are done, 338 images in all, including this one with his hoodie. I don't know why but images of men with their heads covered resonate with me. Growing up, of course, I saw the womenfolk of my family in church with their heads covered with their black or white lace Manto but few men wore any head covering. In the Jewish tradition, men cover their heads when praying and the women, of course, are supposed to keep their heads covered at all times. I think head covering adds not only to the mystique of faces but to their beauty as well. Head coverings are, of course, part of clothing and the clothing industry knows this. Hoods provide a background against which the face is outlined. There is also the link with caves and everything mysterious that we associate with caves and dark holes and openings into unknown spaces.
