if you can't be witty, then at least be bombastic

I made the "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" canvass with a broad brush. To give Neil the largest opportunity to pick interesting photos to write about, I did all sorts of images, dozens of different shoots, some of which got used, some of which didn't. This one didn't. But I like it, so you get to see it. But just what's going on? Two grave robbers looking for a bride for Frankenstein's monster? Jonathan Harker and Van Helsing? a distraught suitor wanting to say "goodbye"? Highwaymen retrieving hidden gold?

You tell me. What's the story behind this image?



(You can see it large enough for desktop wallpaper here.)
