Default Jennifer

This is a shot from what is, probably, my all time favourite shoot - and I don't say this lightly! I heard a rumour about this girl who, on a Sunday, travelled 20 or so miles to visit this old derelect factory. She would arrive, change into these gothic clothes and just wander and sit for hours amongst the rubble and decay. I had no idea who she was or when she weant there so I took a chance and tried to find her. I was lucky, it was about 5pm and the light was just gorgeous. I found her. She was not scared but was surprised when I approached her. She said her name was Jennifer and that she came here once or twice a week. She said it was like an addiction and that as soon as she arrived her whole body tingled with excitement. She said she was never affraid - no one ever came and she felt the place was hers. I said to her, "You are so beautiful. May I photograph you?" She said, "If you want to."

This is one of many shots that I would like to share with you. They are all very special to me. I will work with Jennifer again in the future!! Watch for the posts.

Very great story and shot! The shot definitely captures and retells that story. I also can't wait to see more of this surprise shoot!

Glayva, what a great story and great picture.
This is Dickins' Miss Havisham in the dust and decay of her mansion (the old factory) in the 21st centuary mate, and you surely are Pip.
We therefore have Great Expectations of you Pip, because this first picture is a real winner.
Well done mate, and I'd be keeping the location fairly quite if I were you, it could become very popular very quickly which I doubt your new friend would appreciate
