"Crying Men"

"Crying Men" is an amazing series of photographs shot by Sam Taylor-Wood of famous celebrities caught in the different stages/emotions of crying. I saw some pictures from it almost a year ago now and I was just so blown away by how powerful they were. (I highly recommend taking a look.) Anyway, so I loved the idea and wanted to try and take some of my own crying pictures. I don't really cry on demand, so I just poured water down my face. :)

Details: I did some light editing in GIMP. In particular, I used the paint tool in "overlay" mode to darken some of the black-ish colors on the eyelashes, hair, and tear stains.
