"Blow Up" moment

Blow Up (1966)

This frame is adjacent to the ones of the coats I took in the deserted and semi-derelict Schindler factory in Krakow, last weekend. It looks like a mis-fire to me, but it fairly nearly made my blood run cold as I saw the neg this afternoon.

Good job Ann hasn't seen this, and didn't see it before we went in, or while we were there.

It's probably kids playing around, as it looks like it is chalked on a wall, but I can't be certain.

And this is how I saw it on the strip of negatives, of course

Yes, quite chilling.

More than "quite chilling"..if you ask me!

I still don't know where it is exactly, but I think that's a baby buggy being pushed.

Which means it's not quite so close to the factory after all.

Andy, a stunning capture. I like it a lot!

I'm guessing you were in the old Jewish part of Krakow. There were several of these chalk outlines there. I photographed a few myself, though not the one above...

Yes that is creepy, and don't show Ann.
