He (she?) looks a bit perplexed, perhaps he's (she's?) trying to figure out how to break out of that stone lattice.

Fun capture Daryl.

No stoney expression there.

Chesapeake Bay Woman said...

I wonder what he's saying. I know what I'm saying: I hate Mondays especially on the heels of a great weekend.

Dragonstar said...

I love the expression, and I love the detail and texture of the stonework - concrete just isn't the same!

Gaston Studio said...

Ah, the craftsmen of yesteryear!

judi said...

Groovy, xoxo

Snooty Primadona said...

You know, it almost looks like a theatre mask... I love everything NYC.

Fireblossom said...

I think this reveler is still feeling the effects of the weekend, and wondering how he ended up there, like that!

Hilary said...

Cool.. it looks like something's caught in its throat. Or maybe it's air pollution. ;)

Dianne said...

I love her face, it's a mixture of so many emotions

she represents all gargirls ;)

John said...

These old carvings make great b&w subjects, I don't think they work in colour.

Dina ... UK said...

Nice find Daryl, I love the expression....

B SQUARED said...

Lovely texture to the image, and a curious smile.

Mojo said...

This almost looks like it could have been in one of Magiceye's shots form the Kanheri caves. Very mysterious and cool!

Virginia said...

Why am I thinking Jacob Marley???? Great monochrome offering!

I think I saw that face in the Oyster Parade.

Vita Stunder said...

Oh MY!!

I HAD to come and visit you!
One more precious... ;)
LOVE this capture!

Enjoy the new week Daryl!

Akelamalu said...

That's a happy looking face :)

Carver said...

I love the expression on his/her face.

Jacob said...

Interesting...looks like he/she is in a bit of pain!

Country Girl said...

I think it looks like he's singing. He's singing a happy song.
And I'm living in Disney World.

imom said...

I love it! You've inspired me for next week's monochrome monday!

Elisabeth said...

How unusual! New York has so many wonderful things to see. Where is this fabulous decoration? It does have a theatrical feel. Neat capture.

SandyCarlson said...

Perplexed and innocent and somehow happy--from another world looking into ours. I love it.

sybil law said...

For whatever reason, that freaks me the eff out!

Grandma J said...

Is it me or is that one cross-eyed? ummm, probably me, right?

Cloudia said...

Stone can be expressive
faces can be flinty...


Life!



Aloha, Daryl

What a face! "Cement Man" (as opposed to the Green Man). Where did you find this one?

magiceye said...

superb capture!

MyMaracas said...

What a strange face. It's not pretty, but it's far from a gargoyle. I wonder what the artist was thinking when her caged her there in stone.

Carolyn Ford said...

Very interesting! The expression creates curiosity...very nice black and white.

TSannie said...

Stone & Metal Faces of NYC. I see a great coffee table book there!
Neat photo!
