“Like two erect sentries, my mustache defends the entrance to my real self” is the name of a 1954 photograph by Philippe Halsman (web) of his friend and collaborator Salvador Dali, included among the 28 portraits in the book Dali’s Mustache: A Photographic Interview (WP). It is reproduced here by Cha Cha (Carla Hodgson) (ig) in Catherine Place, Bangor, (where you can also find her Rock-Paper-Scissors Octopus).
