I returned for my fifth Stockholm Zombie Walk and was not disappointed. First photo out is this beautiful zombie lady with blue streaks in her hair. I believe she is cosplaying Bellatrix Lestrange.
Incident at the Bunker
Diefenbunker Museum
Carp, Ontario
And the award for creepiest zombie of the season goes to.....
THIS KID!
During the adventure we had to work our way down a narrow corridor in the bunker, probably no wider than 4 feet. One side of the hall had this glassed in area with a sliding patio-style door that you see in this frame. Well, there was all kinds of screaming victims and zombies gnashing their teeth behind the glass wall but this adorable little specimen was standing in the open doorway just rocking back and forth...back and forth.
And then she looked at me.
OK, somebody else take point! I'll just be over here curled up in the fetal position.

Yesterday, this guy arrived at our doorstep courtesy of my thoughtful brother. I just couldn't let him rest in peace (the zombie, that is - not my brother). (Pun totally intentional).
Is this where the Zombies are gathering for the apocalypse? Have I found their secret lair? Is this a warning? It won't stop me.
The Manunka Chunk Tunnels in western NJ were part of the Lackawanna Railroad's original route through NJ. The main line was used for about 50 years until the "Old Road" was bypassed in 1911 when the Lackawanna opened it's famous "Lackawanna Cutoff" through western NJ eliminating the grades, tight curves, and two problematic tunnels (of which this was one) on the original route.
These tunnels were opened around 1860, the left one first, and it quickly became evident these tunnels were going to become issues for the railroad. Between collapses, flooding, space restrictions with more modern equipment, and speed limitations, the tunnels became a real bottleneck for the railroad.
Track in the right tunnel was removed in the 1940s, and the left tunnel still saw occasional use right up until the Erie-Lackawanna merger in the early 1960s.
Today, the tunnels are a flooded relic of their former days with multiple collapses inside them. Tracks can still be found inside the left tunnel as they are permanently sealed in place by several ceiling collapses.
Let's take a look inside and see if we can find any Zombies.
This is my first ever zombie scene and I feel that it worked out really well but I don't think I will be doing another one. I hope you enjoy this scene.
The stroy about this scene is that in the apocalypse the military has been comprimised leaving only the resistance, the only remaining mercenary team has fallen back to their last stand where they have lost half of there workforce and the battle is almost won, but the casualties have been severe and there supplies are running thing ad they can't last much longer.
My make up artist friend, Andrea, and her at the time boyfriend, Justin, and I decided to do a zombie themed shoot. Originally it was just going to be like a portrait of a zombie, but then we decided to do this. A 16 zombie chase scene. Add in our pin up esque friend Kelsea, my now fiance and love of my life Tammi, a post to friends to come in your best zombie make up and be in the back of the photos, 3 hours of professional makeup, and 200 frames later, and this is what you get.
We are now going to use this photo, as it gained some notoriety in our area, as a promotional material to do another one. Only this time, make it HUGE. 100's of people, shut down a street, and just do it up.

Stranger #13
I stumbled upon this "hipster movie blogging zombie" named Corey while I was waiting to meet up with Cara Rose this evening. Tonight was the annual Zombie Walk here in Lawrence which was a surprise but I was happy to catch another stranger.
Corey lives in Lawrence and she spent 5 hours working on her make-up! She's into horror movies and enjoys blogging about them. I'm not into the zombie/horror thing but doesn't she make a striking stranger? Check out Corey's blog if you're curious!
This picture is #13 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
5:15am: I stumble in after an amazing night at club med. My pants and underwear are soaked due to being in the hot tub and not having a towel. I'm drunk, tired and seconds from falling over. I strip and pass out within seconds of hitting the pillow.
8 solid hours of sleep later and I was still drunk! I went and got a glass of watered down ice tea and some aspirin. I sat down at my computer and within 5 minutes spilled the tea all over my desk. Somehow I managed to not soak the computer or the tablet. The keyboard is lifted off the desk so that was safe. I'm paranoid of drowning my computer yet every time there is a close call, it seems to narrowly avoid disaster.
I decided after the near catastrophe that I better go back to bed and sleep off what ever booze is left in my system. 4 more hours of sleep and I'm just about sober. Shawn comes to me with an interesting idea, zombies! I had a zombie theme on my list of ideas since the beginning of the project but haven't really thought of doing it. I figured why not and the idea was set.
We looked over several different YouTube tutorials on Zombie makeup and effects. However, in the end we decided that today would be a test for a larger shot later in the week. We would do this shot with minimal makeup and photoshop would finish it off. Part 2 would have more makeup and more people…. And more blood!
The blood was made with cornstarch, corn syrup, red food coloring and coco powder. The works great for in the mouth and on skin but it cakes up when on clothing. I'm not happy with the look of the blood on the shirt. Part 2 will have to have a different blood recipe.
Shooting was straight forward with a typical 3 light setup. 2 edge lights and a boomed main light. While setting up, Shawn was getting into character by laying on the ground and moaning like a zombie. A passerby would more likely thing he'd just fallen and I was a dick for not helping him! WIth the lights setup and ready to fire, Shawn would load up on blood and just let it pour and I started snapping away. We captured around 30 shots in all. I sent Shawn to clean himself up and I broke down the gear. I was mildly worried about the staining affects of red food coloring but Shawn said there was no issue with removing it. Now when I do this to strangers I wont worry about staining them! It just brings back memories of the Aboriginal shoot when I painted Ben Price! So far I'm 2-0 with not disfiguring volunteers!
Post production is, once again… where the magic happened. I started in by darkening the eyes sockets, turning the eyes red and deepening the tones in and around his major facial features. I chipped his teeth and furthered the nasty coloring. Paling his skin to near grayscale really drove the effect home. It just so happens that I used my skin tone as a base line for what a zombie should look like. When I go out in the sun I put on spf 100+! Thats like a thick paste! Anyway… I masked him out and dropped in one of my favorite non people shots from my trip.
This tunnel was a one way tunnel going through the mountain in San Francisco leading into Golden Gate National Recreation Area. There was a 5 minutes light on either end of the tunnel. It was very long and driving through at 50mph took a minute. I had decided to have Joyce drop me off on the outside and I'd run in. I ran full speed until I found a section that looked right. I then placed the tripod down and with preconfigered settings I set the 2 second timer and let the camera take three exposures for later combination to HDR. As I was waiting for the last series of shots to take I heard a car in the distance. Had I really been in there 5 minutes already? The tunnel didn't have enough room for me to hug the wall and wait. I had to get out of there and fast. I picked up the tripod and in a true olympic style sprinted out. Just like out of a movie I exit the tunnel and not a second later a car flies out of the tunnel as if it was shot from a canon! I love close calls but that one got my heart pumping. Well, that and the running!
The detail is in the large version and those of you who see it printed 24x36 will see what i'm talking about. I really made Shawn look disgusting!!
On a side note, I was disappointed that more people didn't find my cyborg shots as interesting as I did. I really thought they looked cool. Oh well, you win some you lose some!
