Simon Hogsberg



One project that I found to be very interesting by Simon Hogsberg was his "Faces Of New York" piece. I thought it was particularly interesting how he spent hours a day walking around and asking people, "What do you think about your face?".  Many had very in depth responses, some good, some bad, but all gave a answer. One response that caught my eye was an older lady named Rhoda, who had a sadder answer. She seemed sad that her age has finally caught up to her, that all the wild parties had finally caught to her. Although it seemed like she was sad to be getting old, she also was very relieved because she no longer had to be the center of intention. Rhoda could now just sit down and have a simple conversation and not care how the outcome is. Overall, I thought this one was one of Simon's more in depth project.
