Harvest Days | B&W Compulsion Series

Fotor01019164531

This weekend was my towns Harvest festival and I couldn’t help but snap some shots of the big event, regardless of the nasty weather that made its presence. Living in a small town that only has two stop lights and no wal-mart, well what seems like a small event can be a big deal. For us in NVA, northern Virginia, funnel cakes, vintage cars and tractors are a big part of our autumn festivities. Feel free to comment below with your regions Autumn celebrations.

Overall, enjoy some shots for my black and white series and a pinch of autumn color as well.

A Fairytale Boy:B&W Compulsion Series

NOTE: This is my 13 year old brother who was only willing to wear my nightgown through a bribe, he is not gay nor is he transgendered. However,  if you cannot handle images of a boy wearing a dress I suggest you go stalk another blog. I say this with earnest kindness and respect for you and myself.

Recently, I have been yearning to get a jump start on my B&W compulsion series. However, as cliche as it may sound, great things come to those who wait. The night before this session I was wearing my nightgown and admiring the collared detail and the lovely feeling of the silk against my skin. I didn’t care much about the color, I just cared about how it made me feel, beautiful. It is rare for me to feel beautiful before I go to bed, hair in a knotty bun and make up smeared under my puffy eyes, however, in this nightgown I felt extravagant. It then occurred to me that this nightgown would be a perfect center piece for my series.

The next day I aimlessly began to search for a girl to model my nightgown while babysitting my younger brother. As he played with my nightgown, holding it against him mimicking me, I stopped the e-mails, the text messages and the phone calls. Skyler helped me realize that a girl would only dimmer the beauty of the nightgown by attracting all of the attention to her face. After countless minutes of bribery and tomfoolery Skyler finally agreed to be my nightgown model.

Here is the final product, please enjoy.
