So Molly and I took a walk in the woods this summer, and of course I got naked, because that’s what one does when in nature with Molly. She sent me all these beautiful, verdant, sun-dappled, big-blue-skied photos… and while I love them all, this one jumped out immediately as my favorite, because all of my life I’ve loved all things spooky, creepy, haunting, and dark above all else – to the degree that I sometimes think my parents should have been a little worried when I was young.
My dreams of the woods are more The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon (which is a fantastic book, btw) and less teddy bear picnics. Sweet dreams, everyone. Halloween is coming.
Beautiful portrait, Molly. Jo, you never cease to amaze.

I’ll check out the book you mentioned. Do you know works of Charles de Lint Canadian writer?

It was such a fabulous day and like you I LOVE this shot. As you said to me in email it has a slight Gollum feel to it and I think we have the same love of spooky, eerie, disturbing images

Haha. I’m so glad I saw the Gollum comment above because I was thinking ‘I know Jo would laugh but should I really say it made me think of Gollum?’. Fucking stunning and magnetic Gollum though! Xx
