Reminds me of the American Gothic painting.  Stoic feeling.  But very warped.  One looking one way&#8230;one looking at the camera.  Tried to put the smoke stack in between the two.<\/p>\n<p>What caught my eye was the park bench being very high because of a ditch on the ground.  Their feet dangled like little kids.  Never hitting the floor .  They were short but this made them look miniature.  <\/p>\n<p>Was the last shot of the day.  The tired look helped.  On the last frame they interlocked their arms.  Made a big difference&#8230;.Searched an hour for those red flowers before the shoot.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted a serious and stoic look in their silly costumes.  I didn&#8217;t want a silly image, a contrast. <\/p>\n<p>Probably the photo I enjoy the most from the Striptease Burlesque exhibition.  2 years later it would be the poster image for the Iisalmi, Finland version of the exhibition.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/1aaa15.jpg\" alt=\"1aaa\" title=\"1aaa\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/1aaa15.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/1aaa15-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/1aaa15-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Documents068.jpg\" alt=\"Documents068\" title=\"Documents068\" width=\"500\" height=\"683\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Documents068.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Documents068-219x300.jpg 219w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Documents069.jpg\" alt=\"Documents069\" title=\"Documents069\" width=\"500\" height=\"692\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Documents069.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Documents069-216x300.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar gaJsHost = ((\"https:\" == document.location.protocol) ? \"https:\/\/ssl.\" : \"http:\/\/www.\");\ndocument.write(unescape(\"%3Cscript src='\" + gaJsHost + \"google-analytics.com\/ga.js' type='text\/javascript'%3E%3C\/script%3E\"));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\ntry {\nvar pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(\"UA-12680478-1\");\npageTracker._trackPageview();\n} catch(err) {}<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>..December 2006, Brooklyn, NY..
