For this month’s post I thought it would be appropriate to show off some of the POEs finest spooky imagery. Manipulated and abstract photography lend themselves perfectly to creating scary accidental creations, crafting nightmarish ghost stories, and altering beautiful images into eerie wonders. Whether it be light leaks, grainy/vintage textures, hazy lighting, or multiple exposures, this genre of photography can conjure up the spookiest and most haunting creations imaginable. For this special Halloween edition enjoy the tricks these manipulated images whip up and allow them to treat your imagination. Happy Halloween!
One need not be a chamber to be haunted; One need not be a house; The brain has corridors surpassing Material place.
~ Emily Dickinson
Deep into the darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
~Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen
Voices whisper in the trees, "Tonight is Halloween!"
~Dexter Kozen
There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
~ George Carlin
I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion.
~Henry David Thoreau
