So, the wife and I have really been getting into the Steampunk aesthetic. (Click for reference.) I discovered it recently after following the tor.com blog during their “Steampunk Month.” For both of us (my wife and I) we found that we had always been in love with this style, but never quite had a name for it. Now we’re going all out steampunk. Our ebay watchlist has peaked at about 90 items in the past couple weeks. Pocket watches, gears, cogs, old keys, old suitcases, corsets, leather jackets, goggles, aviator hats, and cool boots are all getting shipped our way. My wife is even going to start creating and selling some steampunk jewelry. We’ve really dived headfirst into it.

As a result, we decided quite early on that we were going to do a series of Steampunk photoshoots at various locations. We are very excited about it.
But alas, shipping takes so long, and many of our steampunk items are lost in the crazy, maniacal world of sent mail. So, a few of my wife’s items came in and I snapped a few quick shots from our home. Here are the finished products. Not quite as steampunk as we’re planning to get (especially considering the location) but they were pretty fun to take.

Now, I’ll keep you posted about when our real steampunk photoshoot is complete. We’ve already discovered a perfect location (with steam engine train and all) so all we’re waiting on is the USPS.

So, a couple Sundays ago, the wife and I went to the Denton Square for some Ice Cream and picture taking. It was a lot of fun, and I started snapping a few pics while we were lounging around on the lawn. Here’s what I ended up with.
I’m still using those actions that I recently downloaded, tweaking and adjusting them to work for my needs. Comment and let me know what you think of this slightly different style I’m doing on my photos. A bit more heavily edited, but I think I like it.
