In late July we took a road trip to Portland Oregon and on our way back we stopped in Eureka, California where one of the most beautiful old "Queen Anne" style Victorian houses still stands ( Carson Mansion) . Whenever I take photos of old houses I always get an eerie feeling that spirits might appear at the windows-reaching out from the past with their stories to tell, longing to move on. I used my photo of the mansion in this piece along with imagery from e-vint.com. and digital elements from deviantartscraps to create a haunting collage . The broken glass negative is from Christine Renee.

ReplyDeleteThis image is perfect for Halloween. I can see it used as a photo tease for a spooky movie as well. Hollywood should hire you to create the ads for any future scary movies! Wow.

ReplyDeleteI get that feeling too! I don't o=know what I would do if a face actually did look out! I love all your recent pieces that I have just caught up with. This is my favourite one-so beautifully eerie. Thanks for your lovely comments too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure trove of images you must have! I agree, old houses seem to carry the spirits of those who once inhabited them. This piece is wonderfully haunting as your title suggests!
