Pinups á la carte!

Hey, Steemit! This is one of those days that you find out what kind of Steemian you truly are. I’ve been wrestling with a few things in my life; financial, professional, and personal. There are those days that when it’s all over, you lay on the couch fumbling around on your phone, fully aware that you should make a Steemit post. I personally feel that Steemit is a long form platform […or should I say, is at it’s best as a long form platform]. With that believe, I don’t like to post a photo with half a paragraph and gracefully bow out. I’m I’m going to post, there’s going to be something worth clicking in.

I really wanted to read comics and go to sleep early, but I am still SO behind. One unexpected consequence of Steemit becoming such a big part of my life and career is that they do, for me at least, shake one another’s hands quite well. Having a chance to share my art gets it out with a new audience while having a chance to earn rewards for work already done. Consequently, I have to have to new work to share, and Steemit has become a fantastic motivator at situations like I find myself in right now. Get off the couch and edit!

Tonight, this is an á la carte assortments of pinups photographed in Vegas from a range of dates over the last six month. First, a new image of my dear friend and world renown fashion blogger, @vintagevandalizm. Jasmin and I shot together with @vermillionfox and @guthrie in August, the last leg of a one month photography tour across the US. This shoot took place at the edge of the Colorado River in Nevada. At the end of the shoot, she submerged herself in the water and we made this incredible shot. One of those edits that you’re squealing as it comes together.

Secondly, a new edit fo Midwest model and fellow @wcpublishing family alumni, Ginny Rosewater. Ginny is sort of a @wcpublishing personality. She and Kitty […another model that works for the publisher] appear and pedal books at all @wcpublishing events. I’ve been dying to get to the images of Ginny from our shoot at Viva Las Vegas. Sadly, she kept getting pushed back by other deadlines, but tonight, I drew a line in the sand that I would, at any cost, finish an edit from this shoot. I did, and it’s so beautiful. I’m going to try for a full set of images of Ginny over the weekend.

Lastly, this is Sassy Smart. I’ve shared a few other posts featuring Sassy. “Smart from Viva Las Vegas!” and more recently, “Improvising in Las Vegas w/ Sassy Smart!”. I was only able to get to this one photo of Sassy tonight, but she’s so close to being finished! This last shot was taken in the back walkway at The Artisan Hotel. I’ve never shot here before because it isn’t my typical lighting. This shot, however, I do like. I don’t feel it looks like my work, but she looks elegant and seductive. Nice to get outside of your comfort zone at times.

Thanks for reading and for the entire community of friends and supporters that encourage me to do just what I did tonight. To know that I’m going to bed with something to show for my waking hours. Nothing stabilizes my mental and emotional health like bring productive. For more photography, art, illustration and the stories behind the work, follow me here @kommienezuspadt! Good night, Steemit!
