What do you do if you’re a Steampunk artist and need help around the workshop. If you’re Brute Force Leather, you build yourself a pair of lovely windup clockwork assistants.
All assistants come with matching fans.
Some models can be equipped to defend themselves if needed.
Matching clockwork assistant outfits are modeled here by twins Juli and Alex of Twin Bee: Modeling and Design
This was the first chance I had to really work with them, but hasn’t been the last, so expect to see some more of them soon.

I’m home from the SteamPunk World’s Fair, held this past weekend in central NJ. And yes I live in central NJ, so the whole thing was remarkably convenient. I had a great time overall, saw a lot of old friends, made plenty of new ones, and took lots of photographs. Now it’s off to see what the camera holds.

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.

Not sure if I will be there yet, but if you’re in NYC you can check this out:

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:

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.
