It has been so foggy lately, it’s hard to take photos I like well enough to post. Now that our house is all environmentally friendly lightbulbs it’s terrible for lighting.
In any case, I am calling this photo Phase II.
I wish I knew what Phase II was.
There is probably nothing more boring than hearing people talk about their art but oh well. My time away from photography made me forget all the frustrations of it. Annoyance with the only model you have (yourself), wondering if you have sucked the life out of the angles and themes that got people interested in before (i.e. The Living Dolls–and the answer to the question, as I found out tonight, is yes), those half-formed ideas floating around your head, better suited for that person with the actual photography studio (that is not you). How to be brave about the whole process again…
It’s not like riding a bike, that’s for sure.
Huh.
(It’s probably zombies, what is missing. It usually is!)

Which lens did you get? :)
Excellent photo–full of mystery, a bit ominous, but not overly so. I like it!
You know what needs to be done, don’t you? ZOMBIE pictures. Seriously! Think of how cool that would be, especially with the fog and the creepy lighting and the other stuff that rocks.
Man…this could be a thing. A nice, arty photo all photoshopped for maximum creepiness with a subtle zombie in there somewhere.
That sounds like a band name: Subtle Zombie.
Wow. I need to write something.
Very eerie. I do think I sense the presence of zombies in the vicinity of that tree.
Vero: I have the kit lens! The uhm. Dammit, I don’t have the info on hand. I wonder if my D70 lens’s will fit it, though? I’ll have to check.
Danette: Thank you!
TKT: The zombie possibilities you have suggested have set my mind spinning! HMMM…
CK: You know. I think you are right!!
We have the energy saving ‘light’ bulbs too. Why can’t they make them be good?!
I love this one. I also love the idea of you tapping away at this in a house in a foreign land surrounded by fog and trees like that.
I seem to imagine that you actually do live in a hut in the Canadian wilderness, actually… ;) xx
I just remembered what it reminds me of: the cover of Laura Lippman’s What the Dead Know.
Fiona: Seriously! I am getting eyestrain by being environmentally friendly. I am happy to save the world but I like to see what I am saving. And also ahahha, oh my gosh. The area is a lot less wild when I’m not zooming in on it through a lens and editing it in the gimp afterward. ;)
Danette: I looked it up–that’s so neat!
