Adventures in photo editing

I came across a skeleton in the fetal position. Relatable! I like it. So, I snapped a picture.



I'm going through and editing stuff now. I was looking at the skeleton and was like, did they paste flowers on the guy's ribs? What is ...



Nope, covid. The skeletons in this guy's yard are all covid dead. There were several, but I only took pics with the fetal skelly in it.

Not sure how I feel about that. I know a lot of people are doing tombstones with 'I did my own research' and stuff like that. I am fine with that. I'd take a picture and post that, certain other covid references and also some pretty dark humor. But literally a yardful of covid dead? Likely not making my round ups or social media posts ... except this one.

I come across stuff sometimes where I am just like 'no... Portland no....' Last Halloween was a bit rough with that. Lots of yards with both Halloween decor and BLM signs and art projects. BLM signs but also dancing skeletons in nooses? I think maybe they didn't think that through... Also, re-doing BLM yard signs in spooky fonts??? Racial justice but make it creepy?

There were a few things I didn't shoot last year. There was art project in particular I regret not shooting because it's was hard to put into words how tone deaf if it. A picture is very much needed.

These skeletons, these doesn't offend me. I am not upset about it, I am just like *dislike*. Not fun. Not my vibe of spoopy. I was hoping it was a certain vibe, but it turned out to be another.

Skeletons in fetal positions are a mood and I would get some milage out of that picture if not for the little cartoony viruses.

Me: I want to find handmade yard art making a statement!

Also me: No, not like that....
