Well, it is the festival of ‘Día de Muertos’ …… ‘The Day of the Dead’ …… “a Mexican holiday observed throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died .But manifests itself by apparently celebrating skulls and scary looking figures of death ” …….. And anyway it was Halloween yesterday when I shot this ……..Again at Heidelberg University …….. They offer amazing courses …….. they have everything all that is needed…. all the kit ……. Their medical labs had amazing dummies and replica organs etc ……. they even had real corpses in the cadaver facility …….
Amazing place amazing people …… The University President is a big ‘Who’ fan …… even owns a union jack jacket …….. you have to love that :-))))))
Cheers Jez XXXXXXX
PS……. This particular dummy pictured above was known with affection as ‘Tall Eric”

- Yes I spend an awful lot of time avoiding smashing the cameras if possible ……. but W.Eugine Smith one of my all time heroes in photography occasionally used to smash all his gear…… cos he was a perfectionist nutter …… he once spent 3 years I think covering Pittsburgh when his assignment was two weeks …. maybe the same will happen to me here in Detroit …….. hehehehehe…… although rest assured whatever happens I think I am unlikely to smash the cameras…… hehehehehe……Cheers bro Jez XXXXXXX
