Somewhere,But Nowhere

This image is the famous montage which was made by Japanese Police. In 1968, a cash transporter was halted by someone, and three hundred million Yen was robbed off. The perpetrator who disguised himself as a motorbike policeman, was sketched from witnesses. This robbery incident hasn't been solved until now. (Japanese criminal law provides the expiration of a criminal prosecution. So, the perpetrator can not be already accused now .)



Now, as for this image, An imaginary gunman in Virginia tech, could be nowhere. This portrait was sketched from a few witnesses. The University was rocked down, but the turmoil seems to have been only a fuss.
There are no unique features in these images. Featureless countenance can easily get around a warning line. They might be somewhere, but nowhere. Concerning figures that we make from witnesses , they are apt to be made of anonymous averages of details or only imaginations. (Japanese Police say that simple portrait is sometimes more useful than artificial montage photograph. Because it can be deformed and show features as painters intuition just the same as cartoonist.)
