I'm back!

My visit with ^quietchildae and *RestemaIII was awesome! The decompression was lots of fun. There were bright colors, magnificent costumes, tasty goodies, beautiful art, and all sorts of interesting things to do. ^wynnesome got a great shot of me playing in the art with my tutu on.



The day before decompression however, is when my run of shoots began. ^quietchildae joined me for my first shoot in Oakland which was a blast. Though we've known one another for a while now it was the first time we really got to model together, intertwining poses, and playing off each other. We were shot both together and separately during the course of the shoot. Here's an awesome shot of ^quietchildae from the day. I hope to have some images of me and the two of us up in the near future.



Monday, the day after decompression, I had the chance to work with =KickStart011. We played outdoors, I skinned my knee, and took lots of fun images.

Tuesday I did 4 new sets for Zivity.com, the first of which will be going up soon. I actually got to do one set in the rain. It was my first time shooting in the rain and I loved it!

Sadly the shoot I had scheduled for Wednesday was canceled because of the rain. It was one of the shoots I had been most looking forward to because the photographer was going to be creating wet plate images. With any luck we'll have better weather the next time I visit and actually be able to create together.

My Thursday shoot consisted of running around on a golf course pretending I knew what I was doing which was actually a great deal of fun.

And Friday was two shoots, one indoors, one outdoors.

I left the weekend open so I could hang out with ^quietchildae and *RestemaIII while they were both off work. So Saturday we dragged ^opioid, who had joined us on Thursday, with us to Lush, a huge fabric store, and then Baker Beach. ^quietchildae and I got naked (It's a nude beach.) and ran around in the water and all over the rocks while *RestemaIII and ^opioid captured our antics. I was really excited because I'd never done a shoot at the beach before. I even got my camera out and shot a few awesome images of ^quietchildae myself. I'll be posting those in my photography profile soon but, for your viewing pleasure here's some of *RestemaIII's work from the day.



Later on in the day somewhere closer to midnight ^quietchildae made me up and shot me as well. It was an idea we'd been planning since I decided to come visit and I'm really excited about it so even more fun things are on their way.

So the trip was pretty damn cool. I tried a lot of new things, got to create a bunch of awesome art, and it was nice to unwind a little with `arachnid15 and `Katerina423 and their three cats a couple of nights during the visit as well. I'm definitely coming up again soon but first I'm making my way to Arizona and New Mexico.

*ksetrat pointed out that I'd hit the 100k mark for page views a few days ago and =dwingephotography brought it to my attention that another piece I helped to create got a Daily Deviation. Had they not informed me it would probably be next Monday, at the earliest, that I'd have noticed since that's when I'll be returning from out of state.



Now I have to finish some laundry, deposit my paychecks, pay my car insurance, head to a life drawing class, pack, head to another class. Sleep will come eventually and then I'm back on the road before the sun is up.
