I don't know why, but some of the faces carved on the facades of some monuments (here, Le Grand Palais, near the Champs Elysées) really look ugly and wicked. This one looks even so upset and angry that I couldn't help but smiling while I was focusing on him to take the photo. He looks like he just ate or drank something terribly bitter!

Yeah, he does! Or maybe he doesn't want his picture taken :)
By the way, I note that he is remarkably clean, much like the Petit Palais, and many other buildings in Paris ...

He looks as if he was looking at you...
By the way, is it a Faun?
August 16, 2006 2:20:00 AM GMT+02:00
I think he looks like he just smelled something awful. It's a very cool photo.
August 16, 2006 2:30:00 AM GMT+02:00
He looks like he saw Paris Hilton walk pass his building!

They just ran out of Confit de Canard and Chinon at his favorite Parisian Cafe. Were they designed to ward off Evil Spirits or something?? I really love the expression though..I believe I have seen the real thing on a real person before!!

It's a fabulous face. He looks like a typical Frenchman when faced with something unpleasant. Very expressive!

This is a great photo! It doesn't matter how long you live in a place or how many times you visit, photos such as this one show little things that you can miss. This made me laugh a bit too!

The title to this photo is perfect!
August 16, 2006 6:58:00 AM GMT+02:00
Mom was right! She always said, if you make a face like that and it gets cold it could freeze that way! Eeeeks!

LOL, funny comments by aphotographerinparis and Run Around Paris.
True its expression is very life like. Great find Eric!
August 16, 2006 7:02:00 AM GMT+02:00
Eric,
Were you eating beans?
August 16, 2006 7:10:00 AM GMT+02:00
Michael and Peggy, LOL!
His lips remind me of a famous actor, maybe Zero Mostel??
A fun and detailed capture!

I think he must live over a sewer vent...that or someone walked by and farted! (By the way, it took me about 12 years and four boys to say that word!) And do you notice how the absence of an eyeball actually creates the illusion of a big cornea? KEWL! ;-) Oh, and what about the curley-que horns...he must be some kind of man-sheep! No wonder he's unhappy! LOL!

kim, no, it's just the midievel botox they were using at the time for his lips.

What was the original intention of this carving. Is it similar to gargoyles on the old cathedrals... to scare evil away?
August 16, 2006 8:15:00 AM GMT+02:00
I think he looks like the caricature of a snooty French waiter. Maybe this is where it came from?
August 16, 2006 9:10:00 AM GMT+02:00
LOL! Yeah that face looks very snooty!
August 16, 2006 9:46:00 AM GMT+02:00
if you ask me, he just looks stoned!
August 16, 2006 2:32:00 PM GMT+02:00
Why the long face ?? :D
August 16, 2006 3:43:00 PM GMT+02:00
I have been reading about your blog how good it is, at last I found your link.
Very funny picture!
August 16, 2006 3:53:00 PM GMT+02:00
J'aime beaucoup ton blog;)

He looks downright grumpy! That nose is HUGE! (smile)
August 16, 2006 5:01:00 PM GMT+02:00
Maybe he is fed up with people who shot him all the day! ;-)
August 16, 2006 5:08:00 PM GMT+02:00
Nah, he's just giving the French "Pffft" to the world. lol
August 16, 2006 6:32:00 PM GMT+02:00
Maybe somebody is urinating on his feet?
August 16, 2006 10:26:00 PM GMT+02:00
Can I just say that I stumbled across your blog today and must say a HUGE thank you for such a wonderful site. I lived in Paris last year and it was easily the best 4 months of my life. . .I miss it terribly and feel like I can now visit it again everyday. :)
August 17, 2006 12:19:00 AM GMT+02:00
Eric, I love that face. He looks disdainful. Ha ha.
August 17, 2006 1:43:00 AM GMT+02:00
That's hysterical, all these faces are usually so grand. Why don't you make it your new ID photo!!!?
August 17, 2006 6:32:00 PM GMT+02:00
He looks like he smelled something offensive to me! Weren't these types of figures (like gargoyles) put on buildings to frighten away evil spirits?
August 20, 2006 4:21:00 AM GMT+02:00
Or smelled something horrible! Yikes! Great picture though!

Reminds me of the great movie actor Charles Laughton. He made that face in many of his movies minus the beard. Captain Kidd, Henry VIII, and hundreds more comprised his starring roles. His wife, Elsa Lanchester, was a fine actress. I remember her best as the bride of Frankenstein.
August 22, 2006 10:24:00 PM GMT+02:00
This is a great photo, Eric. I
think he feels that humans smell
very peculiar. I am glad to have
found your blog; you are a very
talented photograher.
