Hi I'm The Nailman
Mr. Nailman appeared on a boulder in my son's front yard after a break-up with a very questionable girlfriend.
The only thing missing was chicken's blood.
I made this disturbing photograph before it hit the dumpster. My son doesn't even want to look at it. It is cement and rusty nails are through the entire hollow body.
I used my Leica R8 and 35- 70mm f/4 Vario Elmar Aspheric lens set at 35mm.
The film is T-Max 400 processed in T-Max developer. The print was sepia toned in an 85 degree bath with a sponge on the back of a processing tray.
ENJOY. My sons believe it is a genuine evil Voodoo type of warning.
Furthermore, the "girlfriend" stole another son's e-mail address from the home computer and several months later she forwarded her wedding photos to him... the brother. God Bless her husband.
