Nature Shots Set 2

 As much fun as doing the costumed theme shots can be, sometimes you find more beauty in nature than in any carefully orchestrated scene. Here are some shots taken while just out wandering. There's a rushing river, a trail going up into the woods made of old railroad ties, a lake whose surface is so still and reflective it acts as a perfect mirror for the trees around it, a bee and a butterfly, a flower, and of course the moon (once during a blood moon). Since right now spring is coming this seems like a good time to share these, and to hope while doing so that I am going to get a chance to add to the collection very soon. Enjoy.

He did a lot of his bits that night, including getting his head chopped off in a guillotine, creating a giant monster that got up and chased him around the stage, getting injected with poison from a giant hypodermic needle, dancing with b

Dark Sirens set 1

I leaned into the "dark" of the name in my editing. I tend to have an aesthetic preference for darker, moodier, less well defined than many people. But the great thing about art is that you can make what you like, and people can enjoy it or not. I don't feel there is any one "right" way to either make or enjoy art. There is just art and audience, and the art may connect with some or all of the audience, or it may miss it's mark completely. Sometimes this will happen for reasons that have nothing to do with the art itself. It may be the mood of the audience at the time, it may be the context in which the art is presented, it may even be due to some feeling for or against the artist responsible quite aside from the art itself. Hopefully my audience will get the mood I was going for here
