Just got this bow in the mail and wore it for the first time today and it got me feeling festive. Isn't it adorable? I love the little disembodied fangs and the idea of a rogue hair bow gone bad. The black velvet is perfect for that classic halloween feel. Can't you imagine Wednesday Adams owning a pair of bows that could bite?

I don't normally use my wide angle lens for portraits or blog photos, but I liked the idea of using the warping to my advantage this time to add to the overall psychological offness. I wanted to echo the classic horror look as influenced by the german expressionist exaggerated lines and shadows. season's greetings.

  4. Squee! Chiaroscuro! The bow is awesome, and that jumper looks so cute and versatile.

    Ugh, I always shoot in wide angle because it's all my point-and-shoot can do! It was such a good idea for these photos, though.
