Mr. Magoo Out of Control

This photo is called "Driving Really Fast Out of Control." I made it in the spring of 2002 with a series of self-portraits that I felt expressed my feelings toward the American government's decision to go to war in reaction to the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. Anyway, back to the photo. It hangs in our living room at the rental. I look at it all the time. The other day I realized it does not look like I am driving really fast at all. Erin agreed. She thinks I look like Mr. Magoo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Magoo). I think I look a lot like my dad when he drove the wrong way down a one way street to protest the changes in our little mountain town, Quincy, California.
