Ok, so I haven’t posted here in quite a while. The winter has been slow from a photo perspective , but I have been adding stuff over at Flickr, including:
I also just attended the Wicked Faire and have started posting photos from that as well.
I’ve been meaning to tackle this subject for a while, especially for all of you who find your way here through my other work and want to know what all this is about.
However, for now there are better writer’s takling about that. It’s steampunk month over at Tor.com and G.D Falksen has written an excellent piece called Steampunk 101. It’s a good primer to get started with and I hope to see more interesting thoughts in the comments.
It also features several of my photos, along with those of several other photographer. Go take a read, then come back and look through more of my photos.
Where I’m going and where I’ve been…
I will be at NY Anime Fest this weekend on Saturday. I will be helping my friends over at Cosclips with their photobooth for half of the day, and probably photographing the con the rest of the time. If you see me say hi, or stop by the booth if you want to find me.
I was also at DragonCon, but for a number of reasons it was a bit low key. No planned photoshoots, but a few were still done and will be posted up soon.
Just over a week ago I travelled up to the NY Ren Faire to both see the Faire and attend the Time Traveller’s picnic steampunk meet up.
Last year at about this time I attended the Renaissance Fair in Tuxedo, NY for the Chrononaut’s Time Travel Picnic.
It appears it is becoming an annual event, as the third one will be this Saturday. I will be there, camera and goggles at the ready. 
If you’ve wanted to go to a steampunk meetup in the area, I’d recommend coming by for the meet, then enjpying the rest of the day at the faire. And I always look forward to meeting some new people!
From last year’s picnic:
More photos from the Snap shoot last month. (One more post on these). Most of the steampunk and victorian styled outfits here are from Berit New York with additional props from Brute Force Leather
The project I’ve been closing up this week has kept me from fully processing the Snap photos from last week, but I wanted to post a preview before I head off for a week.
I was working on a station with a white background, so most of my photos are high key, clean portraits. I did a little outside but the rain moved in a nixed the shoots I had a planned later in the day.
Only a few photos up at the moment, but you can check my Flickr page over the next 24 hours to hopefully see a few more. Otherwise they go up after next week.
One outing I did manage to make during my hiatus was a picnic held in Central Park in May. It ended up being more of a challenge then expected, as I chose to drive in to NYC and that was the day there was a car fire in the Lincoln tunnel. Some some 2+ hours later I finally emerged on the green about an hour into the meetup.
Complete set at flickr
After settling in and catching up with everyone it was time to get down to business and many photos were taken. Mr Falsken and Ayleen moved over to some rocks for a few shots, where they immediately took the high ground for shots that came out unintentionally looking a bit Firefly
Then on to some group shots:
Mr Wahnsinger
Amy and Ali each posed on the bridge
I had a great time yesterday attending the SNAP Alt Couture photo session in Bayonne, NJ. Britney of Berit New York, who I worked with at Wicked Faire, and Emilie Jerard brought some amazing stuff, and all of the model were great to work with. Pictures, of course, will be forthcoming.
If you’re coming here because we met at the shoot, welcome!
