“The Scalp”

This was a total WTF moment. I still don’t really know what it was, just that it wasn’t bloody. Probably just a wig, but I sure as hell wasn’t gonna touch it. As I was looking at it, a car driving by actually slowed down, probably wondering the same thing. I am growing quite fond of my little nocturnal escapades… there are always new – sometimes unexpected – subjects. I was lucky to find the scalp on the road, a perfect location void of distracting elements. I love how the cracks just enhance the grittiness of the picture. Eerily enough, when I went to process this photograph in Lightroom, I realized that its file name was “IMG_0666”. That was quite a hair-raiser!

“Banane !”

I was thinking for the right title when Jasmine passed by, saw the photo and exclaimed “Banane !”, a familiar call we often hear. She loves them. Actually, the missing piece was in her tummy. She left that one, which I gladly used when my time and photographic options exhausted themselves for the night. Unfortunately, I couldn’t spend as much time as I’d want to on the lighting, which shows. Midnight was right around the corner.
