'A Mystery Character Adventure'

(0629101145PMishC.E.S.)

(~*~)
Day # 2: My Big Back Yard!!!
First UPDATES:
~ As we are still "test piloting" this project; if it is a good turn-out for interest & showing up to do these calendar shoots this year, this idea may happen again next year/ annually.


~  The long overdue task of spreading things out to enable exploration by others in my "closet", has begun with some much needed shelving. Re-organizations will commence, just unfortunately not in time to decorate my yard. With that being said, I continue with the details... lol
=
   For the first day of Halloween calendar shoots, some things did not go our way, and yet, we had fun regardless. It was a tornado of wigs, costumes, and accessories between both my "closet" and my bedroom as people got ready (too funny). I assisted as best I could until it was time for me to start applying make-up. Thankfully some of us are good with exploring for themselves, and taking over for me with assisting/ taking some pictures during it all the commotion - we were just missing the tunes (hahaha). Thankz Rob! 
   As others around me started being ready, I took them out to my yard with my big plastic tombstone... a bit cheazy, yes... but effective for pics none the less... lol
=
MODELS
~ Sheyenne Messer: As soon as I finished her make-up, we took her pic. During which, we decided to start with 3 different poses for each person. She did well as a Bat Faery, and would probably do well if she ever wanted to model. A bit of experience, is always good. I asked her if I could "splatter her all over my wall", and she agreed... lol
~ Shannon Smith: Next up was a little "ham" we all know and love... lol She seemed to know what to do almost naturally, and gave us some good shots as a Vampire!! Her pictures were requested to not be shared, due to their personal reasons. Maybe another time Shannon... (^&^)
~ Rob Gray: Our Mystery Character! Worked very well for him, as he held out the cape, posed in the V, and rescued a tree!!! Great job holding up the tree, & nice scientific discovery there Rob!!!
~ Zack S.: Didn't want to dress up, but still wore a back pack onto the scene... I guess he just wanted to dress as "Explorer Zack"!!! Got some cute shots of him both by himself, and with others!!!
+
~ Amy: A shy one at first, but still looked stunning in red velour!!! Nice to meet you young mistress of the night!!!

~ Vicki Po.: A shy quiet type... that didn't seem too "into it", but still managed to have fun... and got some GREAT "2 friends hangin' out" shots!!!
Both had pictures that were more friend shots, than suitable for the calendar.
+
~ Chris S.: Yes, I was captured during paling, pic. taking, and even did an intentional shot or two... not dressed up, due to being the photographer for the day.
=

   All in all there were a few set backs, but it was still a successful day!!! Thankz to everyone that came out to do this with me today, and I hope to see more of us out next round!!!
My BIG THANKZ goes to:
+ Sheyenne for make up assistance & camera.
+ Rob for pic. taking assistance & camera.
& Everyone that came out today!!!

Self-Stalking - Breathers 1

Hello,
This is where I took some breaks along the way during my rescue mission "file backup", that took 2 weeks of hardly any sleep the whole time. I can't believe how much that sucked! I MUST say how important it is to keep ALL your files backed up, before it gets to this point. I think I will look up how long my new external hard drive is expected to last, and hopefully I will avoid this problem FOREVER in the future. (^&^)

Listing them from in order starting at the bottom, with it's original introduction here at the top.

INTRODUCTION

Hello!
   Attempting to keep up with some of my thoughts, improve on my non-communicative side, and keep you (the public) informed. 
NOTES:
~ Sharing only 3 per self-stalking with this one, to as "keep it short and sweet (KISS)" as possible.
~ This may be added to/ with links in the future, should we have to do it again/ in another way.

BREATHER #1 (08??14C.E.S.)

UPDATES:
1. RE: Organizations    
+
2. RE: ACCG (a.k.a. Halloween Calendar)
We are no longer doing any public photo shoots, and may or may not continue with private shoots only. As the future of this project is uncertain; it is to be assumed that unless we mention anything, only private shoots will be offered/ for various other projects. Future updates will be shared through posts/ blogs, with links where applicable.
+
3. RE: Future Updates
Any further updates like these, will be found above in this same post (just different numbers of course), and any past will be archived in blogs. Thank you for your understanding. (^&^)

 BREATHER #2 (081314C.E.S.)
Hello,
UPDATES:
1. RE: Organizations
Organizations/ re-organizations and downsizing has continued both online, and around our indoor space this month. As we plunged into our closet before the August photo shoot, we came out with 2 medium sized bins and more of clothes, costumes, and other stuff to give away at the shoot! YAY!!!
&
RE: Closet organizations
Less options may be offered, as we downsize to specialize. Any further donations will be separated for past donation locations, specific individuals, ROOF, and any we choose in the future.
+
2. RE: ACCG
During our August photo shoot, we were reminded of a much needed service in our local community that is always there for our youth, and needing help in various ways.
ROOF (Reaching Our Outdoor Friends)
After a brief conversation with a young lady associated with them, I decided to give them whatever is left over from our 2 give away bins. They were dropped off yesterday. (^&^)
&
Now that the August photo shoot is done, we have started our editing/ creation "time zone", and may not be online unless releasing updates. Thankz for your understanding.
+
3. RE: Profile Information
Some has been changed/ updated on Linkedin, Facebook, and maybe more.

H.C.1 - Supplied

Hello,
 Ever have the urge? Some days road trips seem to call our names, like friends that live far away are calling us. Every once in a while, we get to enjoy these urges and go. We tend to be introduced to them by family when we are young, and then friends as well when we are older. The first time we did this for a project, was in a Cambridge cemetery; the next time, we were "Tripin' in T.O."!
