“A crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and talk is but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.” – Francis Bacon
Our challenge this week is to feature faces, in a crowd or standing alone. I decided on a few random pictures showing various people’s faces in a crowd. Most are strangers although the last few pictures are the faces of long-time friends.
The first is a fascinating exhibit showing numerous faces of Chicago citizens at Crown Fountain in Millennium Park. A different person’s face is projected on LED screens at regular intervals and each fountain has an outlet in the screen there by creating cooling pools of water for viewers to enjoy!
The header shot and picture below was taken several years ago at popular restaurants in Aruba.
Faces of strangers patiently waiting for their flight in an open air lounge at JFK Airport in New York.
The many faces during a weekend wedding party in New England. The chef is preparing steamed lobsters for serving along with other delicious regional food at a New England Low Country Boil. And below the band members are taking a much needed break at the wedding reception.
These last pictures were taken much closer to home on Kiawah. First is a very popular antique car show which draws large crowds every year.
These are the faces of long time friends during our photography club photo shoot on the Island.
Last but not least, this picture shows the faces of friends who are dressed for their role of impersonating popular TV characters in a who-done-it murder mystery skit.

Great captures, Sylvia. The fountain was neat. Fun to watch it change to the different faces. And a lobster feed wedding, yummy. I am not sure people really appreciate the task of breaking apart a lobster for one, let alone 100. Always a pleasure.
😊😊
Great. 🙂
Thank you John! All the exhibits at Millennium Park are unique and a fun place to visit. Am glad you enjoyed seeing these images and thanks again for such a fun topic!
LOL, when I saw your picture at that photo shoot I couldn’t resist the temptation and had to post it!😀 The wedding and lobsters were in Newport, RI, and the lobsters were delicious just like the ones in Maine. Glad you enjoyed this post!
Thank you Patti! The party was a lot of fun and it was great seeing everyone dressed up like their character. I played Abby and my husband was Ducky from NCIS.
I love that “face fountain”, Sylvia, but all your images truly meet the challenge! Glad you enjoyed it.
Terrific examples Sylvia. That must have been a heck of a party if lobster was served for the guests! Of course I recognize your Kiawah scene (including yours truly 😊) and I loved that Chicago example – what a perfect image for the week!!!
A wonderful gallery, Sylvia! I especially love the last image. What fun!
