Glowing Things

There's something about things that glow - a light more gentle and seductive than direct light, more flattering too. It starts with fireflies in the summer, and grows into a fascination that things can actually GLOW rather than assault you in the face. Thus the appreciation of the subtle and mysterious becomes the adult's secret. Astonishing things are being done in the glow-world, as you will see below.

"Ghost, mark me..."

I have a fascination with photos of ectoplasm and ghosts - surely I'm not alone. It's a valid form of artistry to dress ghosts, create ghosts and see ghosts in unusual things. How lovely to be silken in form, puffed away in a breeze, haunting the moon and the little beasts. Adorn yourself in these ghosts, and grip your heart.
