A little touch of the macabre today.
Thanks so much for all your comments and invites. You are so kind. xx
Photos like this are a guilty pleasure for me: Random (or not so random) objects displayed in a grid layout, like art supplies or handbag contents. Maudlynne was on my desk today next to my box of shipping supplies and it made me do this, in no light at all because I wasn't ready to wait for daylight.
Maudlynne was out and about because I want to try and make her dress in Blythe size. I love the layering and I hope I can recreate it in spite of Maudlynne being very lanky.
I can't believe I missed Maudlynne going out of stock at tonnerdoll.com. They changed the website and there is no evidence of her at all any more. I was going to get a couple more because it doesn't seem like she's ever coming back.

Taken outside
For this whole series, I worked around a large hole left by a fallen tree in our back yard. The figures were hung from a branch in the backyard. I had to select an angle that would keep the neighboring houses out of frame.
Best viewed in 'Original' size.
It's sort of a modern day version of this : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danse_Macabre.
But I wanted to turn it more into a celebration of life, hence it has a little party atmosphere.

A Halloween decoration floats eerily over a grave in the local cemetery. I discovered this tableau near the end of an afternoon spent exploring some of my favorite burial grounds. The weather was cold and harsh, windy with a steady rain. I love photographing (and experiencing) autumn colors under these conditions. Love how the bright colors become muted in the cloudiness; the color remains but the saturation seems dialed down. At one point I noticed movement that seemed unnatural. I turned to find this discount store ghost decoration fluttering in the wind, as if trying to gain my attention. As I approached, I watched as the ghost whirled about madly in response to wind gusts, then settled back in intervals of calmness. The effect was mesmerizing. Not the least of it was the thought of seeing such a direct representation of the afterlife in the context of a cemetery. It's yet another one of those incongruous things that Halloween makes acceptable that might otherwise be considered a taboo. I loved the Casper-like simplicity of this ghost. In an era where blood, gore and zombies prevail, the subtlety of this creation seemed refreshing and somehow appropriate for the moment. It harked back to a simpler time when donning a white bed sheet adorned with a Sharpie-drawn face was deemed an adequate and frightening costume. I spent several minutes just standing here watching the ghost and thinking. And at least as much time photographing it. The initial frames did not do it justice. The wind-driven motion is what attracted me in the first place, and that's the way it needed to be portrayed. I dragged the shutter way down and the effect was complete.
