Fallen Princesses Essay by Dina Goldstein

Here’s a photo essay that caught my eye. It’s more of a sad message than I’d like, but the technique is similar to some things I’ve been working on. Since I’m expecting a kid later this year, I’m really distracted by the urge to smack Snow White’s Prince Charming in the head. Also, if you’re intrigued by this work, you may want to check our Bill Willingham’s Fables comic. I’m a regular reader.
