As far back as 1937 My great uncle Sal was making these giant crazy masks these two right here are some of his first creations over 80 years ago you will see a couple hundred of them on this category on this website and the stories that go with them Sal and myself had mask photography studios all over the place New York City, Jersey, Chicago ,and above Captain Tony’s Saloon in Key West that was the wild studio back in the 60s and 70s I shot these two girls in my studio in jersey 20 years ago and yes the masks Have hypnotic powers In fact there’s 65 of them in our house here in Florida the one on the right Is staring at me right now as I’m writing the story
