For some years before I started in digital artwork, I was writing about my characters and creating them in my head. Part of this process was taking photographs, sometimes at random and without explanation, of scenes and locations where I imagined them. Now I have the ability to finally close the gap between imagination and reality and see my girls in all the interesting places I have been - and they have also been with me. They were like ghosts and now they became real. All photos by me unless stated - other photos used with prior permission and linked to the original photographer.
