Midnight Hour

Uploaded: October 28, 2007

Description

at 710 Ashbury Street

This 1890's-era, Victorian house
(prior to my editing) was actually home to The Grateful Dead back in the 1960's.
I photographed it in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, CA.

Wonderfully creative Lisa! Love the extreme saturation & hidden scary spooky treats, wonderful pov too! Don't Victorian houses make the best canvas for haunted houses? Makes me glad I don't live in a Victorian house, lol! Great work and another score for the ladies :)

Super work, Lisa. Just visited Crystal's entry and I am SOOO proud to be a girl (at my age it's been years since I considered myself a girl--it's kind of nice). The crazy colors on the trim of this old Victorian certainly contribute to it's silliness and the distortion and ghost (especially) to its spookiness. Yep, this is a contender. Point to the girls.

Again, with the girls giving each other points. Stop that. Lisa, I really love the POV of this shot. Nice saturation and a good spooky ghost. Dave

WTG, Lisa! The POV is dizzying!! Hahaha! Love all the scary "beings" you have in there- and yes, the colors on the house lend themselves to the whole thing.

The movie Psycho came to mind as I was looking at this, so I had the high violin sounds from the movie in my head while viewing this image!

Lisa, I LOVE all the great colors that are in this piece of art. It must have taken a lot of Hard work! I also think the history behind the house adds to the whole concept of the image. GREAT WORK!!!

Thanks a bunch, Amanda!!!
The title, 'Midnight Hour,' is actually a title of a Grateful Dead tune from the '60's.

Steven, thanks for the positive comments. ALL of the halloween images in this shot are from photos I've taken over the years. (no clipart)
I "drew in" the ghost.
This project was a ton of fun!
