No, I don't know why I'm in an art and design mode this week. So be it.

"Girl in Bee Dress" [2004], by Maggie Taylor, my new favorite photographer:



This is the cover image of the current issue of the magazine Color, and it's already crawled in my brain and set up house. There may be a story.

Thank you for your time. Carry on.


ETA: Do visit Maggie Taylor's website. You'll thank me later.

That looks like something that might wind up on Antiques Roadshow in another couple hundred years ! ;)

It does! She reminds me of a less angsty Jan Saudek (or a wayyyy less angsty Joel Peter-Witkin).

Whoa.

Do I see a little Lewis Carroll influence? In the way the photo is styled.

Funny you should say that: she has a series of photos based on Alice in Wonderland in her portfolio. You can see them at her website (which I should've linked to in the original post in the first place).

Isn't it? The magazine it was featured on stopped me dead in my tracks.

Wow, those bee-ded dresses can be very expensive!

Silliness aside, that's very nifty.
