Some time ago Joshua Ong and I did a photo shoot led by Jo Brenzo (an American photographer and gallery owner in San Miguel de Allende) at this abandoned and dilapidated but photogenic 18th Century grand hacienda called Jaral de Berrio, in Guanajuato, Mexico. The theme of the shoot was "The Ghosts of Jaral de Berrio”. It was just a fun shoot - something different. Half of these images were shot with my Olympus E-M1 II and half of them with the Sony A7R II, which I no longer own.
Some info about this palatial 245-year-old desolate hacienda here:
Thank you, Birdie! I do have to agree with you that the more OOF faces are more ghostly ... but the less OOF faces represent the spirit of an elegant woman.

So different and intriguing !! Very nicely done. I really like the ones that have the very out of focus faces like 5 and 12.
Thank you, KD! That was exactly how we saw her .... okay, imagined! I use the Radial Filter in Lightroom and just pulled down the Clarity and Texture, and adjust the whiteness/brightness, etc.

beautifully done, Bobby. How do you get the lady OOF? and do not even have feet like the last one.

You did an exceptional job Bobby! Just pure pleasure to view and the technical details of the compositions are dead on! Wonderful backdrop to a creative mind!
Great job!!
