Beginning of a series of shots involving Joanie as Ms. Scissorhands! My attempt at blending fashion and fantasy. I absolutely love it when the entire team pitches in to make such a shoot happen. Joanie took the time to plan out and rent the costumes and Lilly grabbed the claws while Kim brought in packs and packs of hair. Commited people are the best to work with, they literally guarantee fantastic results.
Shot in a paper factory that burnt down June 8th (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qaJUI6kEos) . We got kicked out twice by two seperate property owners but finally managed to compromise with my winning smile (and some help from the ladies).
I had a BTS photojournalist by the name of Monique Guilbault that came on set to shoot the entire thing and soon will have the article ready on DIY Photography in the near future for those interested in knowing step by step how a shoot like this happens :)
Anyone want to guess the lighting setup?

I changed the Sew Out Loud block just a little bit, making it a ruby slipper on a yellow brick road pedal. There's a tiny quilting pin in the upper right corner, too, and I included a FQ of blah blah blah fabric, a crap caddy and some scraps of the pin fabric, in case Kimmie needs to make any adjustments. The "electrical cord" attaches to a pair of scissors and they can be unclipped if needed. They tuck into the purple pocket on the side. I had a lot of fun making this for Kimmie and I couldn't post too many in-progress photos because it was so obviously for her.
The Sew Out Loud pattern is so fun and easy to make, thank you so much for making these patterns available to everyone, what a generous thing to do!
While I was using the scissors to cut Mrs Mail out of the shot with rock star Suzi Quatro, I ended up with a pratial eclipse of the sun, leading to divorce papers if I get found out.
Rock-paper-scissors is a hand game played by two or more people.
The game is often used as a selection method in a way similar to coin flipping, drawing straws, or throwing dice.
According to the Chinese Ming Dynasty writer Xie Zhaozhe's (谢肇淛) book Wuzazu (五杂组), the first known mention of the game, the game dates back to the time of the Chinese Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE)
In the absence of anything better I entered this in the DPI section of the 'Still Life' competition at HPS. Unsurprisingly it was unplaced, although it might have fared better had the judge understood what 'rock, paper, scissors' is!
trying to get a shot for Macro Monday theme, Handle with Care. Inspired by mum's sewing scissors. the reflection of the tapestry on the kitchen wall is a bonus!

The earliest known scissors appeared in Mesopotamia 3,000 to 4,000 years ago.
These were of the 'spring scissor' type comprising two bronze blades connected at the handles by a thin, flexible strip of curved bronze which served to hold the blades in alignment, to allow them to be squeezed together, and to pull them apart when released.
Spring scissors continued to be used in Europe until the 16th century.
However, pivoted scissors of bronze or iron, in which the blades were pivoted at a point between the tips and the handles, the direct ancestor of modern scissors, were invented by the Romans around 100 AD.
They entered common use in not only ancient Rome, but also China, Japan, and Korea, and the idea is still used in almost all modern scissors.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

Enjoying the user experience of this lens with the T/S functionality. Still getting used to it and loving the results. One thing to remind myself is not to go crazy on the T/S functionality, it can be overdone. Using this lens at 0/0 setting provides very good imagery, sharp! The 45mm focal length offers a great perspective.
View other shots taken with this lens here. Small but a growing collection.

The real photo of "Dora" was purchased in a lot of antique images of actresses. I have no idea who the beauty was! Also starring in the role of The Loch Ness monster is a "Lufengosaurus" one of the oldest Chinese dinosaurs.

Scissors on my dining room table in the late afternoon.
This is what can happen if you accidentally leave a pair of brass colored scissors face down on a wet spot on a leather colored place mat. My wife pointed it out to me, and I thought it was worthy of exploitation.
Lighting stuff: Placed on a white poster board against a wall and lit with a pair of Yongnuo strobes in identical 24 inch soft boxes placed on either side of the mat, pointing at the center at a 45 degree angle. I was going for flat, balanced lighting on this one. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
LIt by the setting sun, this is my entry for today's topic in Our Daily Challenge Group: Rock Paper Scissors.
Thought I would do a "pretty" take on the topic.

These are probably my most practical mementos, which bring back memories every time I use them. When I started secondary school (at age 11, so a very long time ago!) parents were given a list of things that they should provide. For needlework lessons, I needed both large & small scissors. I remember going shopping on a Saturday with both my parents & visiting a haberdashery shop to choose the scissors. They were probably very expensive at the time - but amazing value as they have been in use ever since.
