Okay, I'm not sure we're even supposed to be doing a blog this week but fine, you know what? I'll admit it, I have nothing better to do on a Friday night than update my blog. There you have it.
I don't have much to say this week because I feel very disinterested in life in general.
I have a couple images, I'm not sure how I feel about them. I have other images that I want to work on more before I post them so maybe I'll post again after I work a bit on the other ones.
Well, no, let me think, I have stuff to say. I very much like kind of lonely objects (surprised?) and this particular object struck me as pretty lonely. If I recall correctly, she lived in the attic for most of my childhood. That's pretty lonely. She now lives in the laundry room, certainly a step up but how exciting can life in a laundry room be? I mean, I hate just being in the laundry room for a few minutes to throw my clothes in the wash, it's b.o.r.i.n.g.
I decided she had secret ambitions to see the real world, but she's trapped...see for yourself

My mother made the very strange suggestion that I dress her up and give her a pumpkin head. What a weirdo, right?
I'm trying to figure out which I like better, I keep going back and forth.
I like that the second photo has her cut off ( I know, cutting off=BAD, bad Shaylyn!)
But I also feel like the mannequin is cut off from the world...cut off...geddit?
Maybe I'm just lame
I liked the lighting too. It was a little too intense at first but I waited a couple hours and the sun had gone behind some trees which helped (in addition to ample burning)
Know what? I didn't think I liked these at first. I do though, I've decided officially.
And I'm glad that the shadows aren't completely dark, I think it looks better than my apple...which I didn't post, did I? Guess you won't know what I'm talking about then.

Sorry, i posted that under the wrong name but here is what I wrote:
I may be way (WAY) off but for some strange reason I think you might like this blog (http://www.soulemama.com/). It is more of a craft blog than a photo blog but she does a lot of photography and i don't know I just really like it. And now you have the link so do with it what you please.
lol this totally reminds me of this project that a girl at my school did a couple years ago...she had a similar type mannequin thingie and she dressed it in this plain white sun dress/frock and did all these wide angle landscape shots (in b&w) and always placed the mannequin with it's wind-blowing white dress somewhere in the shot (looking out at the water, obscured behind a random tree, in the distance walking down a trail, etc.)........definitely had that "lonely" vibe you were talking about.....i'm not sure if this comment is supposed to help you build off your lonely-mannequin-desperate-to-experience-the-world theme but just thought i'd share.... (also reminds me of lady of shalott...minus the weaving and obsession with the prince....)
Love the image....but what's so weird about dressing it up, and putting a pumpkin head on top...(keepin' with the season and all)
