Using a handy Polaroid Spectra camera, I took a series of “clowning around” photos of visitors to our design office in early 1989. I have no idea why—or where I came up with the silly clown mask worn by some brave clients, salesmen, printers, typesetting and art supply delivery folks, friends, and family. Somehow that mask just made me laugh. It still does, nearly 30 years later.
