Black & White Sunday: Size

Here is an example for you to muse on: Michelangelo’s David (in this case a replica) with unusually emphasized parts of his body and others that are disturbingly neglected.

  4. No doubt size matters – like a huge ice cream much more than a small one and a big whisky a lot more than a small one… 😀
