Funny, I just posted something similar in The Albatross to a DU thread:
Its the LIGHTING, stupid. For God sake, get some light on Kerry eyes or viewer will only see a dark and brooding shadow.
Close-up Kerry’s eyes show intelligence and determination.
But I have watched some speaches in which his over-arching brow cast
a shadow over his eyes and makes him look shady, gloomy and out of
touch.
From The Albatross:
When I see Kerry, and it is sunny out, you cannot see his eyes. They are in shadows of his forehead. He just doesn’t look well. This does not inspire the voters to trust him.
Beat ’em by a day!
So now what do you do about the bright orange skin?
Funny you should ask, Ogre. Was just finding the time to blog on that.
