Wanda12_10_04.jpg

I'm not sure if it was the leg of lamb I had for dinner or the 10 year old Ardbeg whisky I had for dessert; but, I dreamed I saw a spirit wandering tonight. It must be a dream. Why would a spirit be visiting the likes of me.

This was a fun image to create. I always enjoyed "dressing up" in some kind of a costume for some of these photos. Somehow when I was being someone that I wasn't, it made Me feel more comfortable in front of the camera.

sorry, but I don't like the spirit. She's not as beautful in the picture as she really is. Please, take this image away.

I like the spirit floating down the stairway, but I would like the picture better without the spirit peering through the window. But I'm nitpicking and complaining about an INCREDIBLE image. Nice work, Bill.

Nice Multiple Exposure....

Spirits come to only Special People...at least this one....with Grace, Style and a Gentle Nature...

WOuld that more spirits like she would visit the rest of us....

EXCELLENT! I love it.. maybe a bit of underdone potato?
Wondeful smile on her face..

That explains why she is always humming "Santa Baby".

Why would a spirit be visiting the likes of you Bill? Hmmm, ... maybe it's the spirit of
Christmas Presents, (get it?), and she thinks you're a Scrooge, (Oh I'm loving this), and she’s here to warn you to change your ways and get some jewelry for Wanda or you, (here it comes), won't get any. Period. LOL! (Ahem! Ooops! I'm so out-a-here!)

Christmas past, present, or future? No clanking chains, at least.

Very, very creative
I didn’t realize that "spirits" were so pretty!!
