On the spur of the moment instead of being domestic and doing housework, I noticed an event online which I simply could not afford to miss! Local to me is a place called Mannakin Hall, a deliberately mispelt location full of mannequins of all shapes, colours and sizes.
This shot reminded me of Isaac Asimov's I, Robot with rows and rows of repetition.
Mannakin is basically a 1 acre yard with farm buildings and stores littered with around 25,000 mannequins. Part of the site is arranged with a 30 feet high pile with thousands of body parts which would normally have been sent to land fill and destroyed. It's quite macabre to see that many parts all piled up.
I may only be a 12 inch high mannequin but I can still throw some shapes!
At this time of year it gets dark so so late, so I decided to visit my old favourite lime kiln. The kiln is part cave, part man made structure and is dark inside as the light outside begins to fade.
I took along an artist's mannequin and used a 14mm ultrawide angle lens low down to the ground to achieve the perspective trick of making the mannequin appear taller than it actually is.
I shot this wide open at f1.8 to blur the background and used a rotation device to flip the camera 180 degrees.

.. he just didn't want it anymore. Shot for a photography art class at UT in 1977. Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. 35mm Nikkormat ELW infrared film. I like how it looks like it was shot at night under floods. By the way, this model worked super cheap! Available as a large, fine art poster print.

This was too fun to pass up even though the light was terrible.
