Hidden Waterfall with Mikael Photo
Last year I drove to Asheville to visit Mikael Photo and create some art nudes by a waterfall, and it was glorious. I got to his place in the evening, we drove the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiked a small part of a trail, had dinner, stayed the night, and we got up the next morning for pastries and drinks at a tiny adorable cafe he frequents. After that we went to a grocery store for snacks/lunch, and drove to the trailhead. The hike to this waterfall is pretty average/moderate until you get to the end, and then you scramble up some steep embankments. Thankfully, the difficulty of the later part of the trail discourages a lot of people from getting to this waterfall. We had 3 or 4 hours there to ourselves, so we took photos, had our picnic lunch, and lounged around naked on the big rocks. This is what dream photoshoots are made of. <3CURRENTLY:It’s Wednesday again, May 8th, and I’m currently at Kat‘s house having a chill day with no plans other than getting ahead on posts and catching up on emails. Nashville has been really fun so far and I’ve gotten to spend a lot of time outdoors which makes me very happy. I photographed Kat in the forest of Natchez Trace on Monday and yesterday I modeled in a forest near a lake at Percy Priest. I haven’t spent a whole lot of time in the city, but that suits me since I prefer nature anyway. =]By the time you’re reading this I’ll have already spent a couple days in Knoxville and Saturday I’ll be getting ready to head back home. Wow the next few weeks are going to fly by, I already know it. So much is going on! Antisocialdisposition is moving to Maryland on Tuesday morning, and after he’s gone I’m going through all of my belongings and purging as much as I can over the next week. I’ve been holding on to so many things that I really just don’t need anymore. Kitty and I are going to be getting stuff ready for a big yard sale but I only have about a week and a half before I leave for Ignite (it’s like a mini burning man in the mountains of Virginia) so I want to get as much done as possible before I leave! Also in that time frame I want to get any additional things I’ll need for my van and my cross country trip, because I’m leaving for that at the beginning of June!

Waterfall
This film photoset (its HUGE) from a 2 week road trip through Colorado and Utah taken by Antisocialdisposition can be found in the August 2016 gallery. I had wrist drop during this entire trip, and I can tell it in some of the photos, but probably only because I remember having it and I can see it when I pay attention to my right hand in some of the photos. Can you tell?

Purplechrome Forest with Drake Avenue
Click here to read the blog I posted about the day before this shoot for more background on the short van camping adventure I went on with Drake Avenue. We woke up early and drove to this nature preserve that was mostly empty since we were there in the morning on a weekday. It was mostly flat, with acres of pine trees, and a swamp area that we didn’t even get to. We hiked out for a bit, looking for an interesting backdrop for some photos, but didn’t even get that far down the trail because the place was SWARMING with GIANT mosquitoes. We were both being eaten alive, and it got worse the further we went. I usually don’t have many issues with mosquitoes because they don’t seem to like me that much, thank goodness, but they were all over both of us and Sean was having an especially hard time with them. We found this beautiful tree with gorgeous visible roots that was close to a small bridge and a stairway and decided it was the perfect place to shoot. We shot as quickly as we could and then immediately headed back to the van. The mosquitoes were relentless! You can watch us struggling with them in the BTS videos I’ve uploaded. My mosquito bites diminished pretty fast, but Sean is more easily irritated by them so he dealt with well over 50 bites for a few days until they healed. I’m so thankful he was willing to take these photos with me despite the onslaught of mosquito bites he was subjected to! A true dedicated artist.Click here to see other things we’ve created together!
