It's a great time of year to see girls and other beings who aren't there, at least here in the U.S. because it's fall, and the Day of the Dead approaches. Ghosties everywhere! Ah, but they're so sweet.

Has your brother left or are you still enjoying each other's company? Was your holiday with him lots of fun?

Great picture. How did you do that ?.
I could do it on an old film camera,but find it hard on a digital.

was she not there again today?
etc etc


crop the chick bottom center. then what happens is that the girl who isnt there...is the only one who 'is'.

because i know everything.

Someone needs to tell her that she's too large for Harry's Invisibility Cloak...and finders is not keepers...Harry wants it back.

Black and white photographs are always a bit more interesting to me and this one has some many things to get me thinking.

Also, like Wat I look better in B&W.

Yay! the Podigal returns.


yes, why is it B&W always looks cool? and esp. when photographed by yourself?

I'd have asked how you did this, but i don't think i'd understand the answer.


nice to have you back.

Came to comment, couldn't think...went away again.

Love your pics, all of them. Your picture will be on the wall SOON - in the next three weeks I think.

Sounds like life is fun in OZ. Have fun petting the roos with Day-day.

very cool effect, pod! very cool indeed ... I don't know how you did this. lovely work!

the girl who wasn't there reminds of that song by the Zombies ... I guess Santana did it too; do you remember? now I can't get it out of my head:

Well no one told me about her
What could I do
Well no one told me about her
Though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there

Hey! I recognize this vantage point from your December 14 (2006) photo!

...Of course, it's still a good photo, so you're allowed to use the location a few times. :)

So you're back into posting!
Hope you enjoyed the hols with your bro'.

Not sure about the composition here, not centered enough on the "invisible" girl. I feel there's something unbalanced.
But I love the effect. You're on the right track, pod.

Come and see what I saw in Avignon, there's some interesting stuff going on here too!

Fab ghosty moment!

Well, Shelly thinks because you've not slept late and I have, that you're out getting all the good pictures.

But I know you getting up early and taking pics means there's more for all of us to see and catch.

So, here's to sleeping late, and multiplying the goodness!
