It is the only full unobstructed face. All of those people and the child is the only one you can see.

I’ve always wondered – why does Cameron focus on that child in the center of this portrait in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”? I’m sure it means something about his emotional state, but I’m not sure what. When I saw it parodied in “Family Guy” it really got me curious.

Jeff: According to Chris Jordan’s site, “Cans Seurat” is 60″ by 92″. I believe the cans are not life size in the photo.

Is it possible that you meant 60′ (feet) by 92′ (feet)? As stated, it is only five feet by ~8 feet. Which is a lot of soda, but not more than 100 thousand cans.

Wow! I wish all the used aluminum cans in this world would be put to such good use! This is another example of an artist who creates a wonderful piece of art and then photographs it, making the artist a sort of double genius in my estimation. And the patience he needs to create a piece such as “Cans Seurat” s beyond imagining!

I had this whole series on my hard drive at one time. Here’s a different one I saved on P-Bucket. Clicky my name for a stunning look at another group of everyday objects that Jordan exploits.
