Pinoccio (googly edition)
I discovered this creature living in a gas pipeline in one of St. Petersburg yards (Russia). Judging by the long nose, maybe he is one of Pinocchio's relative? I don’t know for sure, he didn’t introduce himself to me (because he had no mouth). Maybe he was bewitched by an evil wizard, who doomed him to such a boring silent sedentary life.
Я обнаружил это создание, живущее в газопроводе, в одном из дворов Санкт-Петербурга. Судя по длинному носу, возможно он какой-то родственник Пиноккио? Точно не знаю, мне он не представился, потому что у него нет рта. Может, его заколдовал злой волшебник, обрёк его на скучную молчаливую сидячую жизнь.
These pictures came out in 2 or 3 takes. Once I did not like the dim evening lighting, so I returned again in the morning. It was not easy to get his portrait with the right facial expression -- because the “head” is high enough, well, in general, see for yourself, it seems to me that it turned out ok.
Я сделал эти снимки в два или три подхода. Один раз мне не понравилось тусклое вечернее освещение, и я вернулся еще раз с утра. Было нелегко получить его портрет с нужным выражением лица -- "голова" находится на достаточно большой высоте.. ну в общем, смотрите сами, мне кажется что у меня получилось.
Gas is blue, so I couldnt resist to try the inversed negative version. Looks unearthy cool to me, too:
Oh, and one more shot -- overall view how did it look like before my manipulations.
all pictures original and creative, my own, taken with Canon 5d + 16-35mm 2.8L. I hope you enjoyed this little acquaintance!

this?..
Earnie!
He become zombie for telling so many gassy lies! :D
I think he is indeed a relative of pinocchio, being convicted without the possibility of speaking was his greatest punishment;)
oooohohohohoh That looks like lemon grabs from adventure time!!!!
o! i never watched that. thank you. i'm glad you like it! @mathowl
niiiiice one... pipeworks are such a great subject, even without, but especially with #googlyeyes :D
Yeah, I don't know, the Pinocchio association with long nosed specimens comes up a lot, but... especially in this case, without a mouth, how could he have told those lies that made his nose grow?!? hmmm?
good you came back in the am again, made for a very nice and soft lighting of the scene.
haha, heres my association with punishment by some witcher comes.
lies and sins > punishment > his nose elongated, and maybe he was transformed into this numb / mouthless form. if it looks too 'stretched' ... well, what can I do with my associations? (wink) anyway thats how our brain works!
I am glad, you loved it. probably more pipeworks will follow.. one day! @googlyeyes
ps.
yes, lighting is a key to the good photo work
sometimes, sole lighting without object is enough for the subject of a photo, itself!
I wonder Will he be picked on because of his nose ??
