Scanning History 6

This photograph is called a "Photo Illustration."  It is a completely set up and posed photograph.  I forget what the story was that needed an illustration.  I think it involved childhood poverty, but I am not sure where.  Maybe just childhood poverty in general.  So they told me they needed a photograph to illustrate the story. It wasn't a news story, because NOTHING can be set up or posed for news stories.  Anyhow, I dreamed this shot up, using an old window in the garage, that was dirty and badly needed painting.  Liz was the subject and I dressed her in an old tee-shirt that was way too large.  I used both graphite and powdered chocolate to make the tee-shirt and Liz's face "dirty."  Maybe a few drops of glycerine to put a tear on her face.  I think the old doll with no clothes on was a finishing touch.  I was really pleased with how this came out.  Of course the question is, "What kind of a father would do this to his daughter!"  Uhhh...  a creative father, maybe?
