   Am I the only one who’s bothered by the almost total lack of video/photo content with people wearing masks? At this point it’s quite clear they’re staying for years to come, I think it’s just not helpful to keep banging our heads against the concept

     @alan Evey: Who are you?
     V. : Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.
     Evey: Well I can see that.
     V. : Of course you can, I’m not questioning your powers of observation, I’m merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.
     Evey: Oh, right.

     What's the point of taking a photo when you wear a mask anyways?

     @deshipu @alan Limitations generate creativity. With masks expressive eyes become more important than ever.

     @clacke @alan But then you are taking the photo of the mask.

     @deshipu @clacke I really don't want to give more examples: literally one of the most famous rituals in the World, what you get out of it? Pictures of masks

     @alan @clacke Never heard of it, but that's beside the point. Of course masks can be an interesting object of photography, if that is what you want to picture. However, when you are focusing on persons (and not the personas they play in the ritual), you usually want to see their faces.

     @deshipu @clacke really, you've never heard of the carnival? Not even Venice's, but in general 😂

     @alan @clacke Maybe you are making some cultural assumptions here that don't really hold outside a very small "world".

     @deshipu @clacke the same goes for you, right? Because you see in nearly 1/3 of the World this is what you would be able to photograph, and I don't see any issue with that.

     @deshipu @clacke not true, there are millions ig accounts of women who wear veils, but that’s a common western misconception and once again cultural blindness. Did you know that it isn’t even religious, just fashionable to wear veils in most of the Islamic world? Why not surgical or ffp2 masks?

     @alan @clacke The whole point is that you are not supposed to photograph them.
