i’m jealous of rebecca cairns

Cindy Sherman meets Diane Arbus… with just a hint of ‘The Sixth Sense’. I have to admit, I saw these stunning black and white self-portraits, by Toronto based photographer Rebecca Cairns, last night right before bed. I was pretty sure they’d give me some kind ghost-themed nightmares, but  thankfully I made it through til morning without any sightings. Phew.

   That second image makes me so uncomfortable in the best kind of way.

   P.S. I’m jealous of those eyebrows!
