rain.

recently i decided that i needed to take a vacation. and i decided to take it in the form of not coming home one night. it helped a tad with my situation, but now i'm grounded from my camera.

so i'll just talk about my last shoot, since its the last bit of pics you might see for a little.
alright. so this past monday i had a shoot with robyn. she was going to be my rain nymph. this is one that i've been waiting to do for a little while. but its a matter of having rain, a model, and being off work. well the weather called for rain. and lots of it, and i had a model, and i only had work from 11-2. while i was at work it didn't rain at all, in fact it was about 20 degrees warmer than usual. but i said i'd wait for the rain. 2 o clock came around; i get off work and theres still no rain. i meet up with robyn. did makeup and dress. got to our location... and there still was no rain. however our "lake" which is actually a creek, was mud-flooded. we lost a shoe on the way. and there was still no rain. so i had to make it look like it rained on her, so i had to throw water on her like a mad woman. i wasn't exactly happy with the mood and lack of actual rain in the pictures. but i did like them after i sat down and really looked at them. and with a tad of post processing the color curves i created the dreary mood i was aiming for.
