Finally Another Photoshoot with Hal=)

October 10th, 2008

Ahhhh, after a cruel summer of being car-less and feeling like nothing got done, it was so nice to take some pictures with Hal yesterday.  I got some headshots out of the deal and then we just got creative.  He played with lighting and textures of the scene (i.e. leather couch, rusted or cement backgrounds) while I seemed to play with Jackets.  Not sure why…just felt like the different coats I had said all that needed to be said.  Does anyone remember that Bug’s Bunny episode where the hats are falling out of the sky and the characters change as soon as a new hat lands on them?  Well I felt my character change as soon as I put a new overcoat on.  Didn’t even bother to wear anything else actually;)

Hal also wanted to play with smoke in the light so I had a clove.  They taste so yummy at first but I had like 7 drags in 30 seconds to keep the smoke in the air for the shots and thought I MIGHT DIE.  Those things are strong as hell.

That first jacket was this vintage vinyl thing, probably from the 70’s and the second coat I wore was this over coat that looked like I just finished church on a fine Sunday in the 40’s.  I tried to force my innocent looks there and think thoughts of how I was heading to drink some moonshine at a speakeasy or something as soon as church got over.  It was really, really fun.

And the best news of all is that after we finished up the photoshoot, we got back to work on GadgetGossip!.  I’m so glad.  As hard as that work gets sometimes, it really sucks when I’m not working on it.

Anyway, here’s one photo.  When Hal posts the rest on Flickr I’ll post the link.
