Elbow Deep in Negatives

I’ve spent the last two days scanning and sorting film from the last two months. It’s like tapping into memories that were hiding just beneath the surface, tiny little moments that seemed totally unimportant at their conception, but bring a nostalgic smile on their reappearance.

I really like long, quiet drives and uncropped edges.

I’m not entirely sure if I was coming or going in either of those, but that’s just semantics.

Goths in Hot Weather? Yuh – huh. Nixon and I shot this when I went to visit her last month while we were out walking around in the Albany Bowl. I like lens flares, and also have absolutely no idea what I am doing shooting outdoors. Actually, I have no idea what I am doing outdoors, period, since not only am I allergic to fucking everything, but I dislike the dreaded Day Star.

Roza’s R&R set happened at 2AM in Portland, wrapping up the mega shoot fest that I had out there. I had posted some behind the scenes shots from this back in time, but it took a bit for the set to pop up in member review.

Sunday Smut : From my Travels

Samantha — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 16:00:37 +0000

This week’s edition of Sunday Smut comes from hundreds of miles on my car & boarding passes buried in luggage.

Miss Q & I have been friends for about five or six years now, ever since she messaged me on SG once upon a time to say she’d be in Santa Barbara for the weekend. We shared a bottle of vodka on my front porch, and she projectile vomited across my living room shortly after. We’ve been friends ever since, and she on occasion will send me incredibly wonderful unmarked packages in the mail. One included a number of dried chicken feet, with no note or return address. It’s why I love her.

I shot Regal Lace

while in Oakland two weeks ago, in one of her friend’s lofts. It’s the first time since I became a staff photographer that I tried my own hand at photoshopping the set, and I’m still scratching my head trying to figure out Cherry’s methods.

Serene was one of the lovelies I got to meet while in Portland in May. Reflected was shot in the beautiful bathroom in the suite at The Nines I shared with Courtney, and I couldn’t resist the triple mirrors for a set. She was such a fantastic model that the only thing I had to worry about was whether or not I was in the mirrors as well – which I am in a few shots, but I’ll forgive myself for my accidental cameos.

So many millions of thanks to Cymagen for helping me out with the lighting on most of the Portland sets! I couldn’t have done it without him, and once again, Cherry completely read my mind regarding the color treatment. I don’t even bother telling her what I’m looking for anymore, since I know she’ll either just KNOW or competely one up me.

Lilac is another Portland girl that I had the pleasure of working with. She has the face of a Russian doll, don’t you think?

We still had tons of natural light streaming in, so we went with the sun rather than the strobes for Flirting with Summer Mr. Moto Takes a Chance . I hadn’t realized that the big shoot day in Portland was the same day as a huge parade, which caused a ton of traffic and street closures surrounding the hotel. If you look through the windows in this set, you can see the crowds of people in the streets and in the squares. I’m still not sure if they were able to see her through the windows, but seeing her was probably better than any parade events.
