Henry Miller once said, "A clown is a poet in action. He is the story which he enacts. It is the same story over and over -- adoration, devotion, crucifixion." The statement is from his book of paintings, The Clown at the Foot of the Ladder, and it resonates neatly with Michelle Elmore's photographs. In fact, Elmore's subjects are not only outwardly clownish, they are imbued with something of Miller's implied pathos as well. By D. Eric Bookhardt Gambit Weekly

This photo is very similar to one by Patti Peretti on the inside cover of Paul Christian's CD Pan.
