This spooky portrait is from the late 1800s. I saw what I wanted to do with this right away. I love it when a photo looks sinister without even trying. The women are the Grandmother and aunts of photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. Sitters (l-r): Aunt Harriet Allen, Aunt Ladonna Hoy, Grandma Joanette C-B, Aunt Julia Millard, Aunt Laura. Courtesy: Daguerreotype collection (Library of Congress). These wicked ladies are perfect for dark art lovers, goths, punks and those who love the macabre.
