Prompt: Photographing the horror of Halloween
Full moons and dark places.
Let your imagination run wild!
Its Halloween!
What really goes on in this body shop? What bodies? Whose bodies?
What darkness are you emerging from to enter the body shop?
Tinkering with composites can be fun, and you are limited only by your imagination. Such is the case with this image. Creating a new image from multiple original photos takes time, patience, and creativity.
It hasn’t been done yet, but this image is very much a candidate for a short story. Image creation combined with story creation is a new challenge I am beginning to fully engage in.
The photo prompt for the horror of Halloween drew me directly to this image. It does beg a question or two, and it was created to do precisely that.
Happy Halloween!
Author’s Note: This image was selected for showing in a regional juried art show at the Newburyport Art Association in 2019. It also sold at that show, for which I am most grateful.
