Face value
Photographer Simon Hoegsberg walked the streets of New York for one month, seven hours a day looking for faces that attracted his attention. He chose ten, took their portraits, and asked them all the same question "What do you think about your face?" You can see the results here.
He also has some other interesting projects at his website www.simonhoegsberg.com.
As for me, I'm not really sure what I think about my face. I don't think it's a bad face really. It can be quite expressive when I need it to be, but I'm pretty good at hiding my emotions too. I've been told that I have nice eyes, although people often ask me why I look so tired. I get my eyes and mouth, I think, from my mother, my nose (complete with nose hairs) and facial expressions from my dad. I've heard that I look like everyone from Thom Yorke to Mr. Bean to Robert Downey Jr. to Jude Law (but that person was pretty drunk). As far as I'm concerned, I think they all look a little like Simon Clarke.
...Oh yeah, and I've also been told that I look like a Russian pianist. Not really sure what she meant by that.
