Once upon a time, in a forest wreathed in snow there was a witch’s house. Inside dwelled the last of her line, a pale witch who dispensed potions and salves to any locals brave enough to seek her out for aid…

There is something so compelling about dying malls. These once optimistic spotless consumer wonderlands are now withered shells. Someone still sweeps the floors and waters the plants. Mall goth fashion is sort of a reflection on the garish bright consumer culture, the dark underside of the subburbs.

Emo/Mall-goth aesthetic really blew up in North America around the time Gloomth began in 2007. It’s weird to see it swinging back into fashion again. In my eyes it’s always been the sort of intersection of cute and spooky, more tongue-in-cheek than goth but less saccharine than kawaii. A manufactured, consumable style that could be found at the mall.

I grew up in a really small northern community and we did not have ice cream trucks. As a kid they always seemed so “city kid” to me. I finally got to do a photoshoot with a whole ice cream truck!

I fell in love with this abandoned mansion during a driving lesson (of all things). It’s got so many wild additions and finishes- statues, sculpted arches, etc. I’m so glad I got to take photos of a model with it before it will be inevitably demolished.
