[x] Steve DiPaola ++ at Emily Carr: Two Eyes, a Mouth and a Nose: The Face in Representation

[judy jheung]

Jim,
thanks for this!  I am curious about the lecture on  Mar 7, Face Trauma,
sounds interesting. And  the one on Feb 7, how do we Recognize Faces.  I
can just tell the lecturer that i have photographic memory.  i can remember
most  faces, images and film i've come across.  I dont know if i want to
know "why" and "how".  It might take away the magic. J
