I found myself in a creative mindset tonight and decided to experiment a bit with B&W images. I went back to a set of Jess & Swan Song from June and either did a new treatment of one of the shots I’ve already published or picked out new images from that set to play with. I think you’ll like the results.

Here’s a link to the full gallery: LINK

More images past the fold.  Beware, they’re not safe for work.

What’s a photo blog report from Dragon*Con 2011 without a few photos.   I’m still working on the report, so while you wait, enjoy these:

The Seven Deadly Sins never looked so good.

No idea who they're supposed to be, but I know they're cute as a button.

Even the Baron made the trek from New Orleans for DragonCon this year.

Beautiful in green.

Tonight’s AFVE Meetup was an huge success. Last count was somewhere around 25 people. The location (Cocktail Cove in Roswell) was even better than I hoped. Much awesomeness will ensue in the future.

But, what’s a review without pictures. This is what you missed if you weren’t there tonight:

This last July 4th weekend was a very fun and productive weekend.  See a bunch of us got together and decided to celebrate 4th of July by exercising our 1st Amendment rights.   We also were testing and experimenting with formats for future group shoots (both photo and video) for the Atlanta Fetish Video Exchange shoots coming up.

Models for the weekend were Lady J, Lady Cobalt, Lady Cobalt’s stage-nameless-man.   Photogs were me, Lee, Gonzo, and JP.  Much fun was had by all and as you’ll see from the shots below, some really incredible art was produced.   Not bad for just messing around with sets and lights and models.   Oh, and the shots with the two Ladies in the shower together were done with 2 photogs and two videogs all squeezeing into the same bathroom.  As you can see, if everyone cooperates, even paparazzi photography can work.

Without further ado, the ladies:

Lady J taking a bath in the back yard. Even in 95+ degree temps, the water was cold!

Lady Cobalt relaxing with a hookah.

And behind the cut is proof of what happens when you hand two lovely women a bottle of chocolate syrup or marshmellow cream then stick them in the shower.  Oh, and then how one of them prefers to get cleaned up.   (NSFW, but you knew that)

I have a Google+ account now.  Not too happy with the TOS with respect to my photography.  Handing Google rights to do anything with everything I post there for all time is not something I’m really all that comfortable with.   I am not even close to what you’d call an Intellectual Property zealot, but damnit, I do want some control over what happens to my works.  If you want to do something with it, ask.  Chances are, I’ll say yes.

I’ll post more about my fun with it in the future.  So far I do like the interface and it is not nearly as cluttered as Facebook.  Competition’s great.  Better products are even better.

Since this is a photography blog, here’s some eye candy for you!

Relaxing after a hard day of tempting the humans.

So what’d you do on your 4th of July?  I spent it shooting a room full of beautiful, and mostly naked, people.  What’d you do?

Kneel.

I had a splendid time working with a new model today.    We spent some time shooting pinup shots and firearm shots and some pinup-firearm shots.   Many more shoots to come in the future from this lovely young lady.  She was a pleasure to work with.  Now on with the show!

Cotton, with guns

So big and long and hard.. make it go boom!

Now which one should I use?

Huge, isn't it?

What started as an evening of test shots and a few planned shots for a compositing project I’m working on ended up being almost 3 hours of fun playful shooting.

Jessica’s good friend Swan Song dropped by with her costumes and ideas.

You can see the quick edits and selections here.  Below are a few from the set.

"Really???"

"Nibbles"

Photos behind the cut are NSFW. Enjoy.
