Taking a Break


One of the employees at Slater Mill. Added some grain to make it look oooooooooold. :)

Slater Mill


Someday I'm going to re-process this a little better. The figure in the right side of the frame is really a statue, and the figure on the left side of the frame is an employee in costume who just happened to be walking through the shot.

I highly recommend a tour of this historic museum and property. The staff is just as nice as they can be, and highly knowledgeable about all the items you see. Oh yeah, and photography is allowed!

Flax, Again


This is what flax looks like when it's growing in the field. The little brown buds contain seeds, used for making flaxseed oil. You need a ton of them to crush to make oil, probably why it's so expensive.

Flax


This is real, honest to God flax. Flax is the plant that, after being beaten and combed, have fibers that are used to make linen clothing. This is after harvest, but pre-spinning. Shot at Slater Mill in RI.

Transportation II


Here I used the Simply Vintage action (from Aly) from atn.central. I'm not sure which version I like better, so you get both today.

Transportation


Shot for the Transportation challenge - didn't wind up entering as I used an action that was illegal under basic editing.

Bubbling


Never really tried a white on white shot before. Tested out my new paper backdrop as opposed to the muslin - what a great deal to not have to clone out wrinkles!

Just milk in a little white bowl, blow some bubbles like when you were 5, and pull back and shoot like mad before they pop. Actually took a few tries to get a properly rounded bubble mound - believe it or not there is actually a bubble blowing technique to this. A fine balance between suck and blow.

Touch


She's baaaaaaack! :) Thanks 'Shell!

What fun to have a model who poses for hours and hours and never gets tired and loves almost everything you shoot.

Meditation II


This is, by far, my fave of the smoke shots. I can't believe I overlooked it in favor of the one I actually entered, but since it scored highly (for me at least) I'm not going to cry over spilled milk.

Glad I went back in the folder to edit again. :)
