Armless Woman & Headless Man at Dinner

My first 35mm Leica experiment!

A torso and a mannequin dine on pig's head by candlelight. I imagine that they've embarked on a suicide pact, but the fiendish mannequin failed to poison her own wine.

That was not very nice of her inDEED!
And his poor armpit about to be set aflame like that! Will the injustices never cease?!

yeah, in real life the flame wasn't like that--the lens just flattens perspective it a bit, i think. the candles DID melt everywhere and ruin my friends velvet table cloth!

Not the velvet table cloth! NO gothic parties ANYmore. Sooo sadddd.

But I love the pics none the less!

pretty.

can you tell us all about the settings and film selection and whatnot?

yes! this was all set in my colleague bret's apartment. he's a 19th-century style painter, so he has lots of interesting props lying about, like skulls, ornate platters, and a candelabra. the pig head (which is barely visible in these two photos) is from the italian market.

i used kodak 400 film, and i can't remember what the exposure was, but i think it was either 60 or 30. aside from the candles, the scene was lit by a variety of household lamps outside the frame.
