Oscar Nod #2

Alice in Wonderland is a great story, for kids and for adults.  When Tim Burton got his hands on it, it became a phenomenal piece of art.  I shot this photo last summer doing a portrait sitting at the Detroit Zoo for a little girl.  When she showed up in her blue and white polka dot dress with her long blond curls the first thing I thought was Alice.  This image for me captured the idea of Alice entering Wonderland - a place that may seem unattainable to some (hence the chains) but that can also be easily entered by those who choose (as she easily pushes the chains aside).  The lushness of the plants through the chains also invoked that sense of richness and colour that Wonderland is so often captured by filmmakers.


What images invoke wonder for you?
