I had my sec­ond model shoot tonight. Over the past three days, we sorted out cos­tum­ing, a shoot loca­tion, and actu­ally did the shoot. The model, Michelle, was fan­tas­tic to work with, and I look for­ward to work­ing with her in future projects. I am plan­ning to make her char­ac­ter in the Roundbottom sto­ry­lines a some­what impor­tant one, so I sus­pect we’ll be shoot­ing again soon. The other all-star hero of this shoot was Sarah, who is pretty much respon­si­ble for the cos­tum­ing here. She’s a genius a putting this stuff together quickly. I think we’re going to do some shoots of her char­ac­ters, Miss Watkins, very soon. Miss Watkins will also be nar­rat­ing a field record­ings pod­cast as part of the Roundbottom project. Right I’m just build­ing my inven­tory of pho­tos and writ­ten pieces and pod­casts ideas up unti I have 3 months of con­stant work to be released on a weekly basis.

Note that this is not a com­plete Roundbottom image and in fact isn’t very close to the way I do the sepia on those other images. This is a quick and dirty look, just to get a feel on which images I want to develop fur­ther in Photoshop. The real Roundbottom images are going to take some time. I was look­ing, and out of a lit­tle over 90 shots, I flagged 45 as picks. That’s an unbe­liev­able ratio of good shots. I have some seri­ous culling to do…
