The Mannequin Garden

There's a small alley in New Hope, PA, which I like to call the "Mannequin Garden". Cast-off mannequins are on display there in all sorts of weird cast-off clothing items. I stopped by there this morning to take a few shots.

Cool place!!! They are all interesting to look at. The marks on the manequin give the effect of tears on the 4th one. I also like the second one with the fancy clothes against the beat up manequin (along with the stray leg sticking up off to the side) -- could be a social commentary. Is the image in your gallery slide show from this same place? Very cool image there as well!!

Thanks, Andrew. Yes, the first image (b&w) that pops up on that slide show is from the same place.

Linda,

Looks like you stumbled into a commune of Mannequin Hippies from the 60's.
They didn't offer you any "display" brownies did they

I like your shots. Fun to look at.

Thanks, Randy. Yeah, there definitely is a 60's vibe to the place. :joseYou should get a load of the shop adjacent to the alley. I went in there once and I could have sworn I spotted something of mine from my childhood that my mother had thrown out.

Nope. No "display" brownies.

Very nicely captured works. I find every one of them lures me in and
makes me stay looking for awhile. Also really like the BW as shown in
this thread. Very life like and a tad on the disturbing side.

Nice shots! But, I just realized how much Mannequins really creep me out!
