For some reason, mannequins in store windows at night are interesting subjects for me. Sometimes I have to resist the urge to overdo it with the mannequin shots. I'm not the only one: there's a whole Flickr group for pictures of store mannequins.
These are actual Hollywood Boulevard mannequins, far from my usual Manhattan stomping grounds, so I guess that makes them special.
They're also on the first roll of Portra 800 that I've shot. I'm quite impressed with this film; it's far better than the high-speed color negative film I remember from back in the day.
I actually used to work in a mannequin factory years ago. I worked in the art department where makeup was applied to their faces. There's truly nothing weirder than walking through a warehouse full of faceless, nude mannequins! I just wanted to paint eyeballs on them and dress them, they looked so cold.
