Polly wants a cracker...

I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

Isn't me,
Have some seed
Let me clip,
Dirty wings
Let me take a ride,
Hurt yourself
Want some help,
Help myself
Got some rope,
Have been told
Promise you,
Have been true
Let me take a ride,
Hurt yourself
Want some help,
Help myself

- Polly, by Nirvana

So as you may or may not have noticed by now, I'm extremely influenced & inspired by music. This is one of my favorite Nirvana songs, despite it's dark nature. It was written about an actual kidnapping & rape of a girl in Tacoma, Washington in 1987. 

When I was listening to this song a few months ago, this vision of a girl trapped in a bird cage popped into my head. Oddly enough, it's my friend/model's favorite Nirvana song, so she was super excited when I told her what we were doing. 

There originally was going to be three photos, but I decided a pair of Polly pictures (hehe alliteration for the win) would work just fine. (That and I'm impatient and really wanted to share these ASAP.)

I don't do composites often, and I am still learning, so please be gentle...
