I can live without comments but homophobia needs your voices

Many thanks

I was doing a photo shoot for another project, but this happened…

    ok its kind of dingy, kind of burlesque, kind of got that cute toy factor too – this is a great piece but it cries out for a title rob!!!!....christopher xx.

  • Robert Knapman replied

    Hehe thanks Chris…in a doggie kinda way :) You guys are so quick, unless I’m to slow… Upload, title, description, this and that, save. How do others do it?

    :D

  • Robert Knapman replied

    It took me a while to understand the perspective of this. I wasn’t sure what the size of the dog was until I looked at the hat. And then it was fun to just look around. Where is this place? It has so much texture…

  • Robert Knapman replied

    Hey Alex. Yep the perspective is odd eh? The kink in the hat doesn’t help either. Its an old derelict church rectory in Glebe – Sydney. I’ve photographed it before and got ttally spooked and havn’t been back for a year :P

    that place is amazing, I’d love to visit it again…..

  • Robert Knapman replied

    Its amazing how much its deteriorated since last time I was there. There was a ladder to the first floor of the boarded up church – open window…I didn’t have the courage…but maybe tomorrow…with a friend .)
