Shooting

So I am now the proud owner (leaser?) of a photography studio. By photography studio I mean "big room with plenty of space and high ceilings." It's at The B Complex.

It's costing me a lot of money. Money that as a grown up, I should be using to pay off debts. But I'm not. Right now, shooting is the thing that makes me happiest. There are so many people I've wanted to shoot, but haven't had the space to do it. There are a million ideas I've had that I always thought would be perfect if only I had the space to shoot them in. I've looked back over a ton of stuff I shot years ago, and I find myself wanting to shoot those people again.

I don't know how long I can justify spending the money I am, but for now, it's worth every penny. If I wasn't spending this money on this, i'd be spending it on therapy.

Also, I've had several people offer to pose, but say things like "I don't have tattoos" or "I'm not a woman" or "I won't pose naked." It seems I have gotten known for one specific type of shoot. So to the untattooed, the clothed and the male: I'd love to shoot you as well. Really, I want to shoot everybody. Though if you are a naked tattooed woman, you get to jump to the head of the line. :)

Well. I'm game, Elizebeth would be too and we also have a housemate that is, as one friend described, 'smokin hot' who also loves to model. We're booked this weekend but next might work.

I have have some 'props' being the various bits and pieces of my hobbies. Chinese broad sword, daggers, sport fencing equipment and traditional chinese clothing probably most interesting out of them. Hard to characterize my brewing equipment for instance or cheese making hahaha...

Sounds cool. Next weekend is MLK weekend so I have three days off. We can email and figure out details. Maybe a shoot of you drunkenly attacking cheese with swords...

I don't think I'm the source of that description, but yes she definitely is :-)

Tyme, some hi quality pictures of you and E in some of your garb would be quite cool.

Can you rent your space to another photog once in a while to cove coasts? We need to come see your new studio and play around sometime.

I'm already talking to a few people about renting it out a bit. And we totally need to shoot something soon!
