Thread: American Gothic Photo Rendition

Tweet

I came across the American Gothic Photo and thought hey this is something that would be fun to do in the Halloween Forum, so come on guys and gals lets make our own American Gothic rendition.

I have posted the original picture and some variations that I found online. What can you come up with? I would like to see YOU in at least one American Gothic Photo Setting.. Come on you know you wanna play.

Not feeling well today, but I am hoping when I get home, my hubby and I can recreate this photo to share with you guys.

i will try that this week end i don't know how i will do it but i am thinking of a way

Our Spirit store has a pair of statues of them this year (American Gothic).

Here ya go, whohahahahaha[IMG][/IMG]
