I never thought I'd say this, but the world needs more clowns.

I never thought I'd say this, but the world needs more clowns. Here are some highlights of what I shot with the @dreamdoctorsil as Ukrainian refugees crossed the border into Moldova.

My aunt used to make yo-yo dolls and made a ton for me when I was little. Apparently she loved making clowns. My mom wouldn’t tell her I was afraid of them and insisted I display them in my room. I wouldn’t go to sleep unless I turned them all backwards so they weren’t facing me.

I didn't like clowns as a child.

I don't like clowns at 69 years of age.

I find them scary and extremely creepy.

I never thought they were funny.

They are doing some silly tricks and making some people laugh after a harrowing time.

I hate clowns too but this is fine.

I might be inclined to run back toward the missiles if there was some actual face painted Pennywise freak at the safe border.

but this really did make me get all teary.

I HATE CLOWNS! Was terrified as a kid and still now they make me uneasy but these clowns were wonderful and I would have hugged them for what they are doing.

Thanks for this post.
