#31DaysOfOctober My favorite spooky photo. An oak tree with a wooden swing hanging from a branch in the hills of San Luis Obispo. #ECK #ClassicMono #Hiking #Halloween #Spooky #OakTree #WestCoastKin
A darkish black and white image of a large, old oak tree that has twisted and gnarled branches. It stretches wide in all directions and is growing on a hillside covered with dead leaves. There is morning fog which makes the tree look mysterious and adds depth to the tree and space. A wooden swing tied with rope hangs from the tree, light reflecting off the wooden seat.

Tatsuo Suzuki
Tatsuo Suzuki (born 1965) is a prominent contemporary Japanese street photographer based in Tokyo, widely recognized for his raw, gritty, and intensely confrontational black-and-white portraits of urban pedestrians. A defining figure in the modern wave of Japanese street photography, his high-contrast monochrome aesthetic heavily mirrors the legacy of Daido Moriyama and the influential 1960s Provoke movement. Despite finding his passion for photography later in life, Suzuki quickly established a global reputation for stripping back the sanitized veneer of modern city life to capture the deep psychological tensions of Tokyo's crowded public spaces.

in love with Edward G Ulmer's set design for Boris Karloff's Satanic altar in The Black Cat (1934) because to me it looks like a black and white version of a Barbara Kasten installation and you know she is my SHIT 😍
Shot of a modernist altar with Boris Karloff standing behind an angled rectangular form atop a raised geometric platform, with huge mirrored shards behind him.Barbara Kasten work with angled triangles and other geometric shapes, in grey, blue, and yellow.Shot of the same scene from a different angle, so you can see more mirrored pillar shapes surrounding the altar.Barbara Kasten work with a grouping of slender pyramids against sheet metal forms, lit with red, pink, and green hues.

Woman Dancing with Robot — Mahlon Blaine, 1939
A naked woman wearing green shoes and jewelry and a headdress that might be a cobra's hood dances on a narrow stage with a red robot. The robot is anthropoid but boxy, a little like a Rock-em-Sock-em robot toy

Painting of Diana, attendant leopards, and one of her handmaidens rushing through a red and gold forest. A cool art deco feel to the painting.
