simpsons house!

whycocomagh, nova scotia.

sara and i passed this house in whycocomagh on our way to cape breton island, and were both like, "what the hell? STOP THE CAR." and we turned around and took pictures in some family's front yard. when the lady who owns the house poked her head out, we apologized, but she said she didn't mind that we were there.

it turns out she'd made all of these wooden simpsons cutouts herself, from scratch, as a surprise for her son who was graduating from school.

[ETA: i think i had some info wrong the first time; someone commented that "Dal LLB" on the banner the simpson family is holding refers to a Dalhousie University Bachelor of Laws degree.]

she told us that he'd worked really hard and only took breaks to watch the simpsons. apparently these took her about three months to do. how awesome is that? they were such great quality, really impeccable likenesses. we were really impressed, and had so much fun walking around taking pictures of everything. it was such a neat thing to see these characters smack dab in the middle of the real world. it made for some really interesting shots!
