Wear Recycle shoot #4

So here they are, finally.

Much has happened since we shot these. I was out of town for 3 weeks (I was able to cast 10 casts while away) and I have had non stop editing for paying jobs every time my feet have been on the ground (this is very good).

Don't get me wrong, I have Brittany Peltier's portfolio to design and a few photos to make last minute adjustments on, but after about 5 days...or more now...of nonstop editing of interior decorating graphs, I thought it was appropiate to take a day off.

Today I focused on Wear Recycle. I rearranged my studio so that I can work on both sides of one of the work tables allowing me to have 8 casts set up to be built at once! This is great since I can only work on one at a time.

During 20 minute break increments the last few days, I have been jumping over to the building table to work on the casts. As of right now, one of them is finished, one of them might be but I need to leave it over night to dry before confirming that, another one is close but not there yet, and three more have had either the first or second layers added to them.

Today I worked my butt off editing these photos. They are not perfect, but they are where they are going to be for now. If anyone hasn't noticed yet, I am a person that likes to revise my photos. I'm like that with everything for the most part. The third shoot of Wear Recycle is in desperate need of a reedit. I did an awful job on Brittany's skin.

Well, here are the new ones.

I also want to thank Ann Pettit of Suede Studios who was kind enough to help me make some paper a couple weeks ago. Yesterday, I brought the paper up from the garage where it was drying and it looks great. Its very thick and has spectacular texture.

I almost forgot to mention I was able to get tickets to Le Femme at the MGM for Saturday night. I was giving 4 of them..One for me, Rich, VAL, and SAM! Finally they get a little something for all there efforts. They are great and deserve every minute of it.
