Lately I’ve become more interested in photography. The dark side of it is I’m finding myself in front of the camera some rather than behind it. So here’s a few things I learned last night while being involved in some pictures.
1) Pants are apparently not considered optional even if you are only being shot from the waist up.
2) Wax is fucking messy even if you aren’t drizzling it over naked bodies. Therefore I will never play with wax again unless naked or at least scantily clad women are involved. Otherwise it’s not worth it.
3) 30 pieces of silver aren’t what they use to be but two rolls of quarters and dimes can be gotten from the local mega mart if needed to beef things up
4) You can leave the wine in front of me and I won’t bother it but put shots of Lorihana within reach and I dare you to try to keep the glass filled.
5) Not everyone thinks slipping a big pink vibrator into a bunch of the pictures was funny. Personally I thought it added a nice whimsical touch.
6) The use of an Apple has different meaning to different people & probably needs explained. The Pagans & Wiccans used it as a symbol of fertility or of a goddess. Christians tie it to “original sin” and to me it represents temptation. After explaining the history then violently sinking a dagger into it intending to symbolize the death of innocence might require further explanation…you see
7) You can show up with 500 feet of rope, a bull whip, clothespins, Proust novel, black leather pants, and a dagger but no one will blink an eye. However if you pull out a battle ax everybody freaks out.
Cardio is really bad for the size of my biceps. I need to begin praying to the iron gods again if there is any intention of keeping this up.
9) Not all candles are created equal, plus there are some very funky scents out there which is only magnified when you get about 7 different ones going at the same time. Opening the window just messes with the flames and one should not throw his head back while doing shots if the buffet behind them is lined with 12 little fires.
10) Even the supposedly Nilla photographer wants to know what the rabbit hair flogger feels like. I just laughed and told her that’s how it all starts next thing you know she’ll have pierced nipples , be chained to a wall at a public dungeon and be asking about the dragon’s tail.
