I have a problem. I am, you see, plagued by boredom. My days stretch out before me in an endless vista of dreary ennui, because I never seem to have anything to do. At least, that’s what I must be thinking, since I’ve started working on a huge new Web site with tips and tutorials and how-tos on BDSM, in spite of the fact that Onyx 3 still isn’t finished yet, I haven’t touched the book I’m allegedly working on in months, I have at least two other unfinished writing projects on the back burner, I need to set up my darkroom again, and the apartment still looks like a Category 4 hurricane went through it just moments after a Columbian drug gang staged a violent coup in it.
Ahem. Anyway, the first tutorial I’m working on is a photo how-to for making rope and chain harnesses, with the lovely joreth as my model.
I haven’t even begun to process all the images yet, seeing as how we just finished shooting all the pics, but I did pick out this rather lovely image from the raw photos, which I rather like.

NICE
Shame you couldn’t get a bit more depth of field so both nipples would stay in focus
Yeah, more lighting would help with that, though you’d need to hold the pinwheel with some sort of off-camera prop, or have an assistant. A zoom lens might give you a better chance of getting all of her in focus. Still, I rather like the wide-angle effect.
There are images which are more sharply focused throughout, but one of the things that struck me about this image is the shallow depth of field. I like the way the chain becomes slightly softer in the foreground; it focuses attention on the Wartenberg wheel, I think.
though the downside is it looks like the Wartenberg wheel was photoshopped in.
I have always favored shallow depth of field as a composition tool. This photo came out of a “how-to” shoot, and I rather like how the wheel is sharp but the rest of me fades very gently out.
in context that makes sense yeah

Hot.

Oh, so you’ve been to my place? 😛

Great shot!
Also, I’m going insane trying to figure out where I’ve met you. You turned up on my OKC match list, and I’d *swear* I’ve seen you before somewhere…

You had more fun than I did, my friend.

Nice photograph, and I’m so jealous of her boobs.
jealousy of *my* frame is not usually the reaction I get, but thanks, I think.

Ow, ow, ow!
Um, can I try?

Theft as flattery.
I was surfing Xero when I came over Transhumanism. Very nice. I reworked your words as verse. I hope you don’t mind.
