Photo of the day

View attachment 26608

From a series shot for a collaborative exhibition with a fine-art photographer friend inspired by Goya's 'Los caprichos,' - specifically - in this case - No.43 - 'el sueno de la razon produce monstrous,' - the sleep of reason produces monsters. Owls have a folklore connection to witches in Spanish speaking cultures. They feature in the original etching.
Malaga - rangefinder and film - I.
Your breadth of knowledge is remarkable Iain. Thats an arresting image.
 
The black robot zombies moving under the command of the giant monster owls. Great shot I. Like it. ;)

Thanks A - actually I thought the mannequins turned out a lot more scary than the owls - frankly they just look a bit baffled - but beggars can't be choosers. It's not that easy to find depictions of owls in provincial Spanish cities! Oh - ha ha - those aren't 'black robot zombies' - that's half of Kraftwerk! I didn't have a wide enough lens to get the other two in. Ha ha. I find marionettes, puppets, ventriloquist's dummies and mannequins to be very sinister - but that's tomorrow's picture - cheers - I.
 
Here's my first take on the theme of the week. Thanks for a great suggestion btw!
