Lisa Morton's Weird Photos

Click on any photo to enlarge

This is a power plant in San Pedro, California, where we shot scenes from Adventures in Dinosaur City. This was taken with a Canon A-1 35mm. SLR, Tri-X film and 28 mm. wide angle lens. This is a close-up of a living sea urchin, taken in a tide pool near Ft. Ross, California, on a Canon AE-1 with a macro lens. This is the fabulous Tom Burman (right) making a mold of actor Paul Clemens' face for the movie The Beast Within. Taken with a Canon A-1 and Tri-X film.

This loony thing is my cat-son Victor. This was taken with a regular 35mm. SLR camera, then scanned off the contact sheet (hence the scratches, etc.) These are chickens sold in a street stall in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. Taken with a Canon A-1, Tri-X film and available light. Okay, I know this isn't really a weird photo, but shoot me - I like the expression of sheer joy on the kid's face. This was taken during a "battle-dance" in a high school gymnasium, with a Canon A-1, Ektachrome slide film and flash.

This was taken on Halloween day, and this really was a dummy of the Devil on somebody's roof in North Hollywood, California. Taken with the world's worst camera, a Holga, on 220 color transparency film. Gotta love the Holga's light leaks. This was taken in 1993 on a road outside of Minneapolis with a cheap throwaway panorama camera. What is this "Happy Chef", is it like a chain? We don't have 'em in California, although we have Bob's Big Boys. Mr. Happy Chef looks like Godzilla compared to poor lil' Bob. This was taken with a Nikon digital camera at about 3 p.m. in the afternoon during the Los Angeles firestorms of October 2003; location is the San Fernando Valley.

Big Kahuna Grove chills out at the amazing Bahooka, sucking up a flaming drink for two with his two-foot long straw... This absolutely gorgeous, perfect spiderweb (about 3" in diameter) appeared on my balcony this morning. And yes, those are Halloween lights behind it, and yes, I know it's August This is the courtyard of O'Brien's in New Orleans, taken with a throwaay panorama camera circa 1995. I know it's touristy, but I adored it, and I've had this photo next to my computer for years as a reminder of some place I found lovely and comfortable. Sorry, FEMA, but I still plan on going back there someday.

Happy Halloween! And a fine example of a "happy accident" photo... The Icky Sticky! When I was a tot there was a whole line of these fabulously bizarre toys. I can't believe I still have this one Buster Morton: He's warm, he's full, he's happy...he's weird.
