A collection of masks in Alaska stares down at me.

I like this shot...always did like 'anthro' things. I once had an Eskimo Death Mask, and three NE Indian 'Whistling' masks with human hair. Some African masks too. I had to get them out of my house and life though. Weren't compatible with my Christian beliefs, but I still visit those rooms every time I'm in a museum. Some are very scary to me now, especially New Guinea and Pacifica. I look at them differently.

Thank you, Jake - these are fascinating to me. It is all in how you look at them.
