It’s Week 7 of the Photo Rehab Cover Makeover run by Desley Jane of Musings of a Frequent Flying Scientist and Lucile of Lucile de Goday. This week, as you can see, we’ve been asked to re-imagine a cover for either the book or film version of Stephen King’s Green Mile. I’ve seen the film a few times but not read the book. Actually, I’ve never read any of King’s work.
I didn’t think I was going to get this ready in time, as I said yesterday to Joanne of Coffee Fuels My Photography. At that point, I had loathed everything I’d tried. A short while ago, unable to sleep, I replaced one of my photos of some museum gates with a photograph of some prison gates from Wikimedia and blended it with a texture from 2 Lil’ Owls. I was more than happy with the result. I hope you like it too.
Click here for instructions if you would like to take part in future challenges.
And now I’m going back to bed: it’s ten to six in the morning here in Crete!
Take care and keep laughing!

This is a great cover. I love the textures in this, it really is wonderful. I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets out of bed and does something like this when they can’t sleep!

Bless you, Desley! You should have seen what it was like at various stages before. As for getting up in the middle of the night, it happens a great deal!

Hope you had a good sleep, Sarah. The cover was just right. Suggesting the mystery, giving nothing away.
Best wishes, Pete.

Once again you have captured the essence of your subject. This image speaks of Stephen King and all things eerie, mysterious and wonderfully strange. I love it. Have a lovely day and definitely keep smiling…janet:)xx

Much thanks, Janet. The lateness of it coming together is what often happens to me. I reblogged a Leonard Bernstein quote on Rogues and Vagabonds yesterday which sums it up: http://wp.me/p3awSz-1tF! Keep smiling. 🙂
