Turning Back, Turning Leaves

Would you turn your back in the woods to fate?
Or, would fate turn 'round to meet you?

Are you lost?
Are you found?

The leaves are turning...

Wrong place? Wrong time?
Is this the end?

Autumn Pyrate Whimsy

Autumn Pyrate Whimsy!



Come along ye scurvy wretch! There be fun to be had! 

Dance with me!















NOTES: These were quite fun to do, but also loads of work. The challenging part was not knowing the exact weather to expect. Luckily, it was a day with very little clouds, when I'd begun. But, towards the end of the day, they blocked out the sun, and then most of the sky.

I was using my new warming filter, mixed filters, and my new batteries. All which I got at very good prices or deals over at Amazon.

The skirts are old by now, and I redyed them about 1-3 weeks prior.

I also shot these in a different neighborhood than my own. I know some of the folks there, slightly... nonetheless, the old guy I know tried spying on me, while I shot in the tiny wooded section. But, I still saw him, and pretended not to notice.

Preview: Late October 2013 (No Touch-ups)

 Here is a preview of the self portraits  I did today. I filled up my entire memory card on my DSLR (camera). I would've kept going if these clouds hadn't rolled in. I might try again later anyway.

I have experimented with a number of things. I am also using a new warming filter.

The weather was SO cold this morning, but by the time I got my make-up finished, it warmed up right away when I went outside.

These are untouched-up, and unmodified.

Expect more. I will shoot tomorrow also.

If it's extra cold tomorrow, I might wear pants.

 I've been getting loads of pressure & anticipation about these photoshoots. SO, these are just some samples.

I have better stuff, but I can't throw everything at you all at once.  Ya know?

Little trivia fact: 
The 2 skirts I'm wearing today are the EXACT SAME skirts that I wore in my Whitman's pond photoshoot in the summer. I re-died them 2-3 weeks ago.

I also still have some photos from Whitman's pond still, but I think I will publish them in winter.

I hope you can appreciate this work, because the boots I'm wearing are KILLING my feet, and I have a very bad right foot.

ALso, I did some cheesy ode to cabaret in here. ;) Look for it!

Making A Boho pirate hat

This thing took an incredible amount of work, and detailing, and problem solving... altho' it's rather simple stuff... like ULTRA simple, it just takes TIME and patience.

I need to get some better starch to iron the thing... cause the ruffles are too flimsy...

 Yeah, it's way out there, and eye catching.

Everyone wants to try it on, or borrow it!

So, do I look wickedly decedent yet bohemian yet? 

 Not the best, clearest photos from my smartphone... but, whatever...

 Some old bronze-ish yellow colored fabrics from my step-mother...
Cut into strips, sewn together, then, sewn ribbons on...

 Ruffles!
