"?"

I like this very much, very artistic!

This is another of those accidents that I think is a "strong" image.

I hadn't used my Canon camera for a long while, too busy playing with

the new P&S, and I was surprised to find some older images still on

the card, especially this one as I haven't a clue how it came to be.

I would appreciate suggestions for a fitting title....gracias.

Thank you Cynthia, any thoughts on a title?!

Well, since you don't have a clue about how this image came about, how about, "Accidents Happen?" I think that has a nice double meaning. Or, maybe, "Birth During Earthquake?"

Ghost Baby? I like the Image...way interesting. lauren

I like this one a lot and I too think about a ghost looking at this. Happy New Year!

Bouncing off of David's babydoll picture, perhaps "Rapture"? Cool and creepy.

Heavenly Child!

I guess I'm just a incurable pessimist, but I was thinking more like, "Rosemary's Baby."

Nothing is really "ringing my bell" yet for a title, it's such an eerie image to me that I want an "otherworldly" title and I'm a sucker for cliches so I keep thinking about "Twilight Zone"....what think you all?!

Sorry, girl. Not nearly esoteric or enigmatic for my taste. But then, you knew that.....

But "Rosemary's Baby"........? Try harder David.

Hey, that wasn't my first choice. I gave you a couple of others. Okay, here's one more and I quit, "The Wages Of Sin." Has a kinda nice ring to it, no?

Susan, it is again the poor doll, but the blur helps to hide her shuttered existence, so for me it is a compatible name.... Good result !

 

Happy 2008.

Still a no go David, to me the title is part of the composition and often helps tell a story, but nothing's working on this "baby".

 

Yes Pnina, it's that poor shattered doll, the funny thing is I don't remember trying to take this photo, it's purely accidental, maybe that's why I can't come up with a suitable title. Happy New Year, hope it's full of more great adventures.

"First Glimpse of the World." Or, "The Discovery of the New World."

Shaken into Reality....

Shaken Baby Syndrome...

Come on Baby....let's do the twist~

It is really a very haunting shot...

"A glimpse of my youth...."

J

I appreciate everyone's suggestions for a title, it's funny that usually I have a title before I even get an image edited but nothing seems to fit this. It's a haunting image and the distortion in front of the face reminds me of the exhaling of a breath and I keep thinking there's a title within that parameter.....? Still thinking. "Shuddered and Shaken"?

Breathing Rapture

Breathing In Rapture

The Breath of Rapture

Look what you have done to me Susan, it's like not being able to stop hearing a song in your head...you know what I mean?

We're playing PN tag.....yes I know what you mean. I don't think there's anything rapturous about this poor doll, something more morbid perhaps.

I blame my mother!! I showed her the shot and SHE said rapture. OK, i feel better. J

Whew!

OK -- now you're starting to scare me ! I thought I was a bit disturbed until I fell in with this crowd :) , blurry phantom babies , amputated mutant limbed babies,and then there's David's decapitated bald cabbage baby. But seriously you know I'm going to like this one. The elements beyond the doll figure add much to the shot. My eyes sees the object in the BLC as coiled rope which only makes this somehow more disturbing since I now have 'Blurry Phantom Bondage Baby' on the brain. I has a bit of a ring to it, if you say it in a sing song sort of way.

As I'm sure you've observed Gordon, most of my photography is pretty straight forward and usually not "complicated" (I'm thinking boring), but occasionally I accidently record something that resonates with the hidden side of my psyche. The doll here, is sitting on an old couch at an old homestead, I had brought her with me with the intent to try and record a "story" about the doll's abandonment but I got caught up in another project and must of fired the Canon while trying to make some adjustments in side the dark building and voila.....the title STILL hasn't seeped into my brain.
