Ground Zero  by graemestevens

Ground Zero

For those of you wondering why I did what I did yesterday, this would be the reason.
Inspired by a This Mortal Coil song called "I come and stand at every door".
Have a fabulous day.
Very sobering shot, especially in b&w.

Still a fair bit to burn. I would just like to see the ashes please!
June 28th, 2014  
And now I understand, kind of.
June 28th, 2014  
my god, that is the result.
June 28th, 2014  
Love it!

I was going to suggest you call the doll's hospital! Now there's an idea, they can send out a doctor. Wonder what his specialism should be!!
June 28th, 2014  
I love how the one little hand is up in defiance! Nice lighting!
June 28th, 2014  
@golftragic Thanks very much, that was what I was aiming for
@gigiflower Never satisfied...sigh...
@rachelwithey I'm not sure I do, perhaps you could explain ;)
@yaorenliu That is indeed the result...thanks
@eevarita Thanks very much :)
@ceilidh Probably plastic surgery (ba boom)
@creativefool Thanks very much - I used the Softbox app on the iPad

I would love it even more if the doll was giving you the finger. Cool shot.
June 28th, 2014  
Very impressive.
June 28th, 2014  
@andy3168 LOL, most things do that to me sooner or later
@sangwann thank you very much

miss polly had a dolly who was sick sick, so she phoned for doctor to be quick quick, the doctor came with his bag and his hat and knocked at the door with a ratter tat tat, he looked at the dolly and shock his head, and said mrs polly put her straight to bed, he wrote on his paper for some sudocream cream and said I'll be back in the morning yes I will will will...

I have friends who did similar things to a defenseless doll - it makes for wonderful stories and laughter over dinner when we recall it.
B&W version I like a lot
June 28th, 2014  
@newbank Yes, quite so...
@annied thanks very much indeed, nothing quite like laughter over diner
June 28th, 2014  
my favorite song of theirs was song to the siren, I bought the single and payed it over and over....
June 28th, 2014  
horrible picture btw lol
June 28th, 2014  
I didn't know the song but felt compelled to check it out to try to understand this image (and its title) which I found profoundly disturbing... and now do I understand. I hope others take the trouble to do the same thing...
June 28th, 2014  
wow, what a shot!
June 28th, 2014  
You would be in a time-out if you were at my house!
June 28th, 2014  
super cool! Love it!
June 28th, 2014  
Love it! I do understand now and that's a great song, her voice is chillingly fantastic! Love the result!
June 28th, 2014  
Cool image
June 28th, 2014  
@kali66 cracking song that one, and thanks ;)
@vignouse Excellent - I'm pleased it makes sense, and thank you
@firefly8642 thanks very much
@eyeamlisa that's no different from what happens here!
@nookie72 thanks very much
@etchasketch1 thanks, it's a haunting wee number alright
@dougapic thank you very ,uch
June 28th, 2014  
@dougapic MUCH...curse my fat fingers!
June 28th, 2014  
I also utubed the song as I am not familiar with The Mortal Coil, what beautiful if not chilling lyrics. Totally understand this image, very emotive. Sadly our children remain under threat in so many countries. A big FAV :-)
June 29th, 2014  
@hermann thanks very much - it makes more sense with the musical accompaniment
June 29th, 2014  
And now I have a different soundtrack to go with the photo than what I had with yesterday's.....thank you for the reference....a sobering reminder...and thanks for the intro to some new music.....
June 29th, 2014  
I worry about myself for how much I like these shots. :)
June 29th, 2014  
@deak68 It is a sobering reminder but also a fantastic piece of music
@jess1204 We can worry about ourselves together then!
June 29th, 2014  
Love that you put up the after shot great B&W shot
June 29th, 2014  
@tracelee thanks very much - this shot is why I "burned the baby"
June 29th, 2014  
Awesome, so evil :-)
June 29th, 2014  
This is so sinister but just makes me laugh!!!
June 29th, 2014  
@robrazer Thanks very much
@roseolivia so you're just as sick as me? ;)
June 29th, 2014  
@graemestevens Probably :-) but as you know all the best people are mad!!
June 29th, 2014  
@roseolivia Good point, and one I'm constantly reminding my colleagues of...
June 29th, 2014  
gruesome and creepy... most excellent!
June 30th, 2014

June 30th, 2014
