Waiting was taken in the burned out house next to my moms. It is also my first dummy photo. I had taken some shots in there one day and was really excited about the photos of the pantry that I took, The light coming in from two directions was fabulous. i had just finished looking at the images on my computer and went into my room and saw Herman( not his real name.) My brother had purchased Herman at a garage sale over forty years ago. He has gone through the hands of a few family members over the years, but now he was mine!! Ready to jump at my beck and call. I wondered what he would look like sitting in the pantry. I first placed him on the shelf like an object. After a couple of shots I decided that I didn't like his hand position, I moved them. A couple of more shots and I decided that I didn't like his head position, I moved it and he came to life. I've been bringing life to dark places ever since.
