A 1000 WORDS x LADY MARMALADE | 18-10-11

As indicated by the date, I conducted this shoot a while ago, but you see, I had some issues arise regarding the memory card. I underwent the hassle of recovering the photographs and finally got around to viewing the images that made it undamaged earlier this week. Initially, I wasn't pleased with this shoot for many reasons. For one, we got together later than planned and it looked like it was about to rain. In the end, those very components that inspired distaste contributed to my now pleased sentiments with these photographs. Oh, the irony. Enjoy. Peace.

CAMPUS-COOL VOL.26 x DISSIPATION OF LOVE

[30-12-11] - It had to be one of the coldest days of the winter. Which is a rare thing to say given the unusual nature of this past Winter. Prior to heading to the park where this was taken, we heavily underestimated the severity of the cold, brutal wind. You see, I was back in my home in Upstate, New York. Funny enough, I bribed my baby brother with a heap of pancakes to take these pictures, but after a while, he was willing to give up his end of the bargain and I was, too. I did my best not to look cold. I did bloody well, yeah?
