Children of the Corn
All rights reserved ©
This series of photos was taken for the group "Macro Mondays." This week's theme is "Stephen King" and we were encouraged to photograph something based on King's extensive body of work. I am not a fan of the horror genre in books or movies, but Stephen King is such a creative man, i thought I could pull this theme off with a little humor. So I really got into the "corniness" of it all.
I took a little over 200 photos using various tiny (children) figures with corn on the cob, candy corn, Indian corn, and pop corn. This one in color is my favorite photo and I think it captures something a little terrifying. I have included 5 others in my photostream for you to see as well. This was a wonderful theme--and I had a blast with it. BTW, I have never seen the movie "Children of the Corn" or read the story--and I don't think I ever will. However, it is a very rich title that lends itself to interpretive metaphorical/magical imagery--thank you, Stephen King, for your words and creativity. =)
