A little over a week from today will be Halloween. Over the next few days I will be entering some of my abstracts that have a eerie feel to them. My first example is below. I did it yesterday and call it "Taking the Dead".

Taking the Dead

This image comes from a recent series of tree bark slides taken this past summer. It is the same dead dogwood tree that I made the images "Brain of Genius" and "Praying for the Debauchers". This image is very small as I cropped at just a very small portion of the slide. On the original slide I had seen a discoloration that looked like two forms holding something between them. I began to brighten and darken the image. The form on the left took hold becoming a man, he was still holding something. The second form on the right began to disappear. The sometihng being held began to look like a man his legs dangling, his left arm held away from a body being lifted by the man on the left.
