All of a sudden she disappears

"All of the sudden she disappears
Just yesterday she was here
Somebody tell me if I am sleeping"
- Counting Crows

Inspired by the rather insipid movie, Insidious, which I saw over the weekend. There was a scene with an out-of-body experience that made me want to try to capture that same feel myself. Since I don't believe in that sort of mumbo jumbo in real life this has instead become something more, something about feeling separated from yourself and leaving parts of yourself behind.
This is haunting. I wish you'd share the story of this. It's awesome by the way.

Great set-up and editing....like a movie scene in a photo.

This turned out really awesome! Nice job!! Very creepy!
April 7th, 2011  
This is a really cool photo. You did an awesome job with the editing and making it feel exactly how you described it!!! FAV!!
April 7th, 2011  
This is way-cool. Good job.

I love this! I love creating or just seeing these types of photos. they remind me of Duane Michals, if you don't know him, look him up (: But this one is great! Amazing job!

@lacedxxoo Thanks! I tend to not get too personal on this site but I gave a little more info in my description. Just enough to tease you to figure out what I'm really trying to say.

@peterauliciems I know, I'm on fire lately! Unfortunately it also happens to be time consuming to both track down or set up interesting shots and then edit them. I might have to cut back soon so I can get other things done, like cooking dinner for my poor husband!

@angelwilliam Thanks! This was my first try with something like this and I'm more or less happy with the results. Also, thank you for letting me know about such an interesting photographer. I did have to look him up and I love what I see!

@sparkle @ssmiley6017 @kwoerner @poggy1818 @jgoldrup Thank you all!

Excellent. I wouldn't have a clue how to do it, but I love it.
April 7th, 2011  
@maggie2 Thanks! I had no idea before yesterday either but found some tutorials and more or less followed them. I definitely learn by doing so sometimes I'll throw myself into an idea without a clear idea of how I'll do it. With enough messing around in Photoshop I can usually figure something out.

This is cool! I'm also playing with such concept these days. :)
April 7th, 2011

I thought I commented on this photo, I even fave'd this, hahaha, well , the photo to me is brilliant, and with the caption, even more meaningful. Well done.
April 8th, 2011  
wow! want to figure out how you did this! so surreal and so emotional... brilliant.
April 8th, 2011  
Simply amazing! I absolutely love this and must try it myself. Wow - what an incredibly powerful image!!!
April 8th, 2011  
this is very creepy-cool. i did a similar shoot a few years ago of myself holding my then-boyfriend's head on a plate in one hand and a butcher knife in the other - but it didn't turn out nearly as awesome as this!
April 8th, 2011  
Love this, Lina! I don't believe in that mumbo jumbo either, but I can certainly relate to feeling separated from myself. Excellent photo!
April 8th, 2011  
This rocks! Love on many levels!
April 8th, 2011  
Wow! So cool!
April 8th, 2011  
Excellent job on editing, the mood and 'feel' is exactly how you describe.

WOW!
