This picture is of a 35 year old man posing with his collection of Superman memorabilia. What I like most about it is the sense of deception that you feel with the juxtaposition of a real person and the statues, particularly the fact that (if not for the height) it's kind of hard to identify which ones are actually the statues. The caption actually said that the man had plastic surgery to gain more of a likeness to Superman. What work's best, I think, is the multitude of Supermans in the picture in contrast with a real person. You get a real sense of the fan's devotion, and also the absurdity that goes along with it.
