 Thank you all for the wonderful comments. This was taken at Loma Linda Hospital, an abandoned hospital now only used for photography, film and video productions. It is prohibitively expensive to rent unless a large group of people get organized and pay a little bit each. The place was overrun by nutty photographers with models, costumes, little girls with teddy bears in princess dresses, mad doctors, and a guy running around naked. We all managed to stay out of each other's way.

It was my first time there and I only learned of the opportunity at the last minute, so I only took along this chiffon cloth, which I spent all afternoon tossing into the air in various locations, with the camera on a timer.

This is actually almost basic editing. But as it was expert, I decided to clone out a little bit of chair behind the piano, and fix a piece of the floor on the left.

So I've been fascinated with these ghosts you're creating - you're just tossing the cloth? How freakin' cool is that? This is lovely! What a great venue, and way to find the light.

Interesting photo. Cool setting. Not so absurd. Odd, maybe.
