The SillyFace Story
In 2012, I was trying to capture fun photos of shows for promotional purposes. People can look blank watching a show, so I asked crowds to put up hands. At the 2012 North Carolina State Fair, a lady held up her baby (photo to right) which sparked an idea.
In 2013, I challenged audiences into silliness for photos which eventually turned into “silly face photos” because it was the easiest thing to dare the most people into.
By the end of 2013, for fun, I got a pile of photos including a 62 silly face photo (to right) at the NC State Fair with help from Wacky Wheeler, Steve Trash, Fair Staff, and vendors.
In 2014, to up the game, I decided to do a SillyFace Fundraiser and give back to RMHC. We stayed there while Cavin, at 6-years-old, had open heart surgery. The hearts which hugged us while staying at a Ronald McDonald House astounded me. $1,203 SillyFaces were captured in 2014, view photos here.
A great part was the awesome thank you package I received, pictured below.
