Wanda03_26_05ajpg.jpg

Well, this image started with one idea and then it turned much darker as I worked on it. We had this big box and packing peanuts. I couldn't just waste them.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
1/160s f/7.1 at 55.0mm iso200 with Flash full exif

God, please take this picture off... She is too beautiful for this.

This image was an interesting one to pose for. Once I got positioned on the floor with My head in the box and My hair positioned the way we wanted it, Bill's says to Me, "Now look dead. Give Me a glassy-eyed look." I felt a bit silly, but I did the best I could. I thought letting My mouth hang open was a nice touch.

The finished product was indeed disturbing! I looked at it and thought "ewwwwwww, is THAT what I am going to look like when I am a goner?" I agree with the other comments on this image, that it's what we all imagined in that ending scene of "Seven". (sorry if I ruined it for those of you who haven't seen that movie yet)

Everytime I think you must have run out of ideas you come up with something amazing. If 'amazing' is the right word..... creeeeepy!

Yup...totally reminds me of "Seven" also.
Well done. Spooky as all hell. Save it for Halloween.

This if very creepy and kind of disturbing. Even more so after spending the last year looking forward daily, to a beautiful image of a beautiful woman.
Robin Faraday 28-Mar-2005 03:17
Great job! Has to be one of my favorites from the "Wanda" series.
Steve Roden 27-Mar-2005 19:43
Scary...
The Whittakers of Reading, MA 27-Mar-2005 19:32
Whoa! Very Spooky! The first thing I thought of was the nasty ending to Seven!
Antonis Sarantos 27-Mar-2005 17:21
Very creative!!!
Does it comes with instructions?
Gerie Nasche 27-Mar-2005 15:15
Eyahh!!! Wanda's expression is perfect!! and the hair surrounded by the popcorn is very realistic!!! shiver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John Nasche 27-Mar-2005 15:08
LOL! It looks like something I would do for one of my Freaky Self Portrait Fridays”! Good job!
Gary Blanchette 27-Mar-2005 13:44
Well i fyou ask me, even the left overs are nice. You've got my address Bill. LOL!
Michael Bertrand 27-Mar-2005 13:42
You have 5 days left and now you have no more use for Wanda!!! I hope not. I will be checking the exif to make sure of the date of the photos. CSI SLC might have a new episode in the making!! Have a great weekend.
Ray Akey 27-Mar-2005 09:35
Is this where we quip "Death becomes her?" ;)

Very cool idea and composition. Bravo again, Bill & Wanda!
See Why See 27-Mar-2005 08:12
Nice and well done!
Trisha 27-Mar-2005 07:47
Gret make up job Wanda. Lust the right amount of blues.
Jeanne Hemhauser-Ricci 27-Mar-2005 07:26
how many times have I said that I love you guys!!
Dan Chusid 27-Mar-2005 07:22
I like the way you've placed her severed head carefully in the box, with just the right balance of peanuts to keep the hair adjusted properly. Hopefully you've applied proper postage and included the right moistureproof liner. ;-)
MeVeN 27-Mar-2005 07:22
This is AMAZING! WONDERFUL WORK! The colors are great on her skin. I am a fan of the gore and this is KILLER! I say unto you...DUDE...NICE!...and Wanda...GREAT dead stare! ;-)
Donna Lear 27-Mar-2005 06:55
This could be symbolic of your nearing the end of the PaD year - and you and Wanda are "packing it in."
jude 27-Mar-2005 06:52
Her expression is just perfect for this...LOL ... great idea
Carolyn B. 27-Mar-2005 06:46
Very spooky! Well done.
Coleen Perilloux Landry 27-Mar-2005 06:37
This beautiful woman looks like she is in a spooky movie or in a coffin.
antidote3 27-Mar-2005 06:31
don't meant to offend but this reminds me of the movie "seven" when brad pitt found his wife in a box....eerie.
Ray Pettit 27-Mar-2005 06:27
Wow! Can you get Wanda on Amazon now? ;->
Really creative and fun pic. Well done.
Todd Walker 27-Mar-2005 06:19
Wow Bill, I know taking a picture every day can be stressful at times but you don't have to take it out on Wanda. This pic is truly disturbing. Well done! :-)
