Interpretation of Parr

by: Marin Parr

In this photograph, I see a caucasian person. They are smiling big, seemingly happy, more of a grin. The person has red lips and strong bone structure. I can't really tell if the teeth are real or fake but they have some specks of red on them.  The focus is fully on the mouth area, very dark background, and is blurred anywhere else.  

I think Parr was trying to get across how we, in everyday life, go about our routine without a thought of how the tiniest things, we aren't even aware of, could be wrong.  I think he likes to show us, or even prove to us, that nothing is perfect and does it in a humorous kind of way.

I feel like my perception of Parr's photograph is right because everyone has those little, embarrassing moments when something is either on your face or in your teeth and no one wants to be the person to break the news.
