Haze And Thorn

Purgatory Swamp

Been wanting to get a big photoshoot done before I started to repurpose my corpses from Halloween 2025.  This past weekend a friend and I headed into a marsh with seven bodies, seven posts, and a lot of smoke bombs.  It was muddy and wet, and a load of fun.  

As we were going through the photos we took and watching the video at the link below, my friend said the first word that popped into her head was 'Purgatory.'  And I think that fits perfectly.  An in-between place that's silent and still.  Where danger isn't necessarily imminent, but where safety and comfort are most likely miles and miles away.

Antonio Bay Weekend

Remember those windy daytime shots from John Carpenter's THE FOG?  

The vastness of the sea was captured really well in that film.  And the windy beach and lighthouse scenes captured a sense of isolation that helped set up the slow build to the coming night mists of the fog (and Blake and his men).  

We took a trip to the southernmost tip of New Jersey this weekend.  Cape May isn't like the other shore points in Jersey.  Quaint Victorian homes and only a modest stretch of hotels make the town feel cozy and inviting.  The weather was sunny, chilly, and very windy.  We joked about capturing Cape May's darker side for an Antonio Bay photo dump, but in the photos below, we ended up catching a really nice weekend at the Jersey shore.
