The Enchanted Wood Too
This is Jo O’Brien’s tribute to play time, magic, and imagination.
Her protest against every adult who told her to stop daydreaming about things that didn’t exist…
Jo has these artistic visions… I bring the camera!!
In case you were wondering how… The model (Sam) was about 30 meters away (used a 300mm for the shoot) had a 5 second exposure, Jo was standing about 10 feet away to the right with a remote flash and on the count of four… blink!

PAUL!!! You have to stop doing this to me!!! My poor jaw needs resetting every time you bloody post something!
This is insanely wonderful… and kudos to Jo too, I’d love to take a peek inside her mind sometime. As long as I was firmly anchored to reality by ten guage steel reinforced rope that is… I have a feeling I would be quite happy to wander around in there for eternity otherwise ;)
