Hey everyone...I have to get started early or I'll never finish on time. Based on the images I looked at this one stuck with me.

It looks like a family at Disneyland visiting the ETR. They all look mildly excited and a little bewildered (typical human response to animatronics)...except....except for this guy in the mask...plainly this dude is stoked. Is he leading the show or part of the audience, it's just not clear. It looks like another case of "one of these things is not like the other" from Sesame Street. But does it go deeper than that?

The guy in the mask is a little unsettling, he is obviously the focal point of the picture. Is this the Shag persona in the composition? He has the same wisp on his head as is used for the birds tail. His teeth and eyes are orange just like the bottom figure on the totem to the right which appears to be looking at him. The bone around his neck is similar in shape, and the same color as, the fountain. Is there some sort of Knights-Templar hidden code to Shag's work or am I clearly bat-shit crazy like a blind man stuck in a cave eating guano just to survive. I am bound to exploring this further...
