Description/Interpretation.

This is photograph of a person's mouth and part of their nose, wearing red lipstick, and smiling. You can see there is a little bit of lipstick or something on their teeth. They have a smaller upper lip, and a slight over bite. You can see all the creases on their face from smiling so big. Also, you can see all the little hairs on their upper lip and cheeks. The nose is slightly out of focus, and you can just see where the nostrils start. A bit of their neck is exposed in the lower left hand corner, and diagonal from that you can see a tiny part of their earlobe. Their head seems to be turned as if they were looking over their shoulder.

In my eyes, the person in the photo seems to be a man. The shape of the nose and lips look rather manly to me. The way he is grinning kinda looks mischievous also, like he's hiding a secret or has pulled some sort of prank on someone. I think the way it looks like he's turning his head back and grinning is whats mischievous to me. I don't know why he's wearing lipstick, maybe as a joke, or maybe as a choice, or maybe it was part of the secret. It kinda looks like he's wearing dentures too, the gums above the front row teeth look a little too dark, and the tooth second from the back on the left side looks like it's about to pop off, either he's wearing dentures or he has some sort of dental problem.

Overall, it doesn't look like a staged photo, but not really an accidental one either. I think the photographer purposely took this picture, but maybe it was of a friend one night, or at a family get together. In my mind it looks like a picture of one of those "you-had-to-of-been-there" stories.

A Memorable Photo...

My grandparents are standing on a beach in some coastal city. They've got their arms around each other's waists, and my grandma is looking up at my grandpa with a huge grin on her face. My grandpa is looking at the camera; smiling. I have no idea who is behind the camera, or what year it is (but I'm guessing somewhere around the 60s/70s). This picture is so important to me because it gives me a little insight on who my grandparents were before I was born. They're happy to be in each other's company and that's all that matters to them.
