It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Heavy Metal
Try and guess what this is a picture of. Right. Those are metal dresses that the mannequins are wearing! It was part of an exhibit about the history of fashion, at the museum I went to last week. They never sold these dresses - they were conceptual constructions done by two brothers whose work normally was making avant-garde musical instruments. These were made specifically for a film. It is pretty striking to see these in person - and realize how a metal dress makes no sense at all!
Interesting composition. I like how the people weave in and out of the mannequins with the film in the middle. The dreamy colors are lovely. A fascinating shot of a scene that could have been static and ordinary. Lovely photo. Di
