Steampunk









    

Dead Man's Party 2010

Shane worked very hard on his weapons, He made everything. Including my goggles and gun.
Our friends Kathy and Joe are also very creative and talented and created their costumes as well. This has been alot of fun putting together and I think it was well recieved.

Below is a description of Steampunk for those not in the know.

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s.[1] Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may have envisioned them; in other words, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology may include such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne or real technologies like the computer but developed earlier in an alternate history.




Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" for such technology as dirigibles, analog computers, or such digital mechanical computers as Charles Babbage's Analytical engine.

A "Tired" Boy




Clowning around at my friends shop while he was taking pictures of the beautiful Madison in her pageant dress. Brody referred to her as "princess".
Steve rolled out this tire and that's all it took to get Brody in front of the camera. The kid is ALL boy!

Full of Hot Air!

Mill Creek Homecoming

There are few times I can convince my daughter to let me take her picture these days. It's not that she doesn't like pictures, it's just that she would rather do arm outstretched self portraits or snapshots of her friends. So being me, being me...I offered to take pictures of the kids in the neighborhood before they all left for homecoming last Saturday. This made for a willing subject of my daughter and my neighbors appreciated it also.
