*THWACK*
This is the hard way to make applesauce. I took out my bow just ONCE (and you wouldn’t believe how long it took to patch up the wall(s) in our lovely apartment home). Anybody have some Spackle I can borrow?!
We did a whole series of these with the intention of my using them for a painting, but I liked the photos as shot, so I turned two of them into… uh… photos (or kept them that way… or… something along those lines). I still hope to get around to that painting of Annabelle, but in the mean time here is one of the reference photos.

AWESOME. I love the choice of color too. Sort of creepy cool.
Thank you very much, Dishy!
I tried a whole range of filters, but for some reason green seemed to be my favorite here…
🙂
I agree! It is crazy in just the right way. 😀
Thank you, Annabelle!
And thank you for all your help with these photos, too! 🙂
Anytime!
before reading the comments, I was immediately drawn to the green as well. It creates a perfect mood for the shot (for some strange reason).
Thanks, J.G. –
Both Anna and I felt it created an appropriate feel for this image. 🙂
I didn’t know apple juice was such a good conditioner.
Ha!
It’s about the only thing that got all that hairspray out of Annabelle’s hair! 🙂
Yeah! It was crazy how hard it was to get that stuff out! I thought the apple might be stuck in there forever!
Sweet, I love it. The zombie lighting is way cool.
Over 90% of my photography is shot ‘on the fly,’ but you’ve got me interested in doing some staged tableau shots (is that redundant?)of my own. I have always liked the idea of concentrating the whole pictorial narrative into a single image, but have yet to find the time or inspiration. Yeah, I’m thinking….uummm.
Thank you so much, Mr. J!
I’ve been very jealous of your ‘on the fly’ ability for some time now! I’m almost always much too slow, or much too shaky, etc. etc. to grab such shots – and you seem to make them look effortless – amazing!
Just goes to prove any shots you stage will be equally remarkable! 🙂
I love how the hair is tangled around the arrow. Helena Bonham Carter could have worn this to the Oscars! With odd matching Crocs!
I think Annabelle used at least a half gallon of hairspray to make her do do what it did!
Ha! Crocs go with anything (or don’t)! 🙂
Hmm, so is part 2 the “unlucky” shot? A curious loon wants to know 🙂
Ha! No, luckily part two is… ahh… lucky, too
(basically just a different version of this photo – I might post it sooner than later).
Part three will hopefully be an oil painting, which might not be as lucky. 🙂
Someone was very brave!
Neat shot with the apple-green tones, the look on Annabelle’s face, and her hair all twisted up like that.
No kidding, Binky – I couldn’t have handled being in front of the camera for this one!
Thank you very much – I was pretty happy with how this one turned out! 🙂
great shot, and what a brave girl. I agree…the colors are wonderful.
Thank you so much, D.F. –
Annabelle is an amazing actress – she did such a great job! 🙂
Great shot – I love it!
Thank you very much, N.M. – we had a lot of fun with it, too! 🙂
love it love it. i’m all about the grungy cross processy feel (i’m so technical when it comes to this photo stuff)
I appreciate that, B.D. – I’m not very technical when it comes to… anything, really. I do ‘likes’ the photos, though! 🙂
A few inches lower & the undertaker would have had a job to do. Apple hunting can be dabgerous. Especially if you don’t make a fatal shot with your arrow. A rogue wounded apple can be really nasty if it mauls you
Apple hunting isn’t dabgerous, it’s dangerous
Stupid keyboard has a mind of it’s own…
Keyboards are evil. As are angry apples! 🙂
