The Hook #2
Canon EOS Rebel 2000, ISO 100, Lens Baby baffle lens
Gateway National Recreation Area, Sandy Hook, NJ
I was walking down by the waterline when I saw a bunch of dismembered dolls and action figures arranged in cult-like symmetry around the shy black carapace of a horseshoe crab. I slipped the camera out of the bag and fired off a few shots, playing around with the strange sense of order. These three came over and asked if I liked their art installation. "Absolutely," I replied, "how about you guys behind it." They laughed goofily, probably thinking I wasn't in on the joke, that I took the whole thing seriously. I smiled and pretended I was never an underclassman in high school.
And here they are.
I really like this shot -- but what's even better is the story to go along with it... hope you got one of their email addresses to send the image along... great shot -- great story!

~one of the oddest manipulations I have seen, but it works for me, just wish the hook was just a bit lower not blobking the middle subject's expression~

Great shot and great story. Has a wonderfully surreal feel.
