the case of the nightmare doll

The evidence keeps accumulating. And as it does, I become more and more convinced that “creepy dolls” is a redundant term.

(Also – and my shooting partner for the day will verify this – all the dolls in this window display were zip-tied in place. ZIP-TIED. What the hell is going on?)

a lady always wears pearls

Yes, ladies, pearls are the proper accessory. According to the Internet, they “create a visual impact that feels both timeless and trendy, making them the perfect accessory for everything from a cozy sweater to a sleek cocktail dress.” Additionally, they also make an impact if you are a naked mannequin in a shop window in Oklahoma. And, honestly, it’s hard to be more timeless and more trendy than that.

Storm Damage

I recently completed a journey across Oklahoma, as part of a not-yet-revealed photography project. The first night I was in the state was a night of many bad storms. Some of them were uncomfortably close to where I was.

A few days later, my work on the project completed, I headed for home. Along the way, I passed through a swath of damage from the earlier storms, including this piece of sheet metal that was wrapped around a fencepost.
