The GIF version of the first of thee animations I will be doing from the stereoscopic pictures I made at this shoot. I tried something different (and expensive) with these and it turned out to be a disappointment.

( Why it was disappointing. )

Nineteen more pictures from the Convergence 13 Mad Hatter's Tea Party, shot on film with my antique 35mm SLR. Autofocus? Built in light-meter? Who needs 'em!

I did use a light-meter, though: my even more antique Soviet «Ленинград-4» (Leningrad-4) :-)

Thursday, May 24 including:
- Reliquary at the Fez Ballroom.
Friday, May 25, including:
- The Phoenix Parade fashion show at the Someday Lounge.
Saturday, May 26, including:
- A fashion shoot with Lady Amaranth, Acid Poptart, and Valerian for Art of Adornment at Sheppards Dell Falls in the Columbia Gorge.
Sunday, May 27, including:
- The Mad Hatter's Tea Party at Queen Anne Victorian Mansion (there will be more coming from this event since I also shot a roll of film that has not been developed yet), and
- The Masquerade Bohemian Ball, where a number of lovely people were introduced to the world famous can of beans (WTF?).

I meant to get through a lot more of my pictures on my lunch hour but ended up distracted by the pictures other people have been posting, so I leave you all with this little bit of silliness until I can get through more of the pictures this evening.

In as much as they can be explained, the explanation for the beans is in the Gothic BC FAQ.

We got back from Convergence 13 in Portland, OR. today. Naturally it all went by far, far too quickly. The

phoenix_parade, a photo-shoot in up the Columbia Gorge with some of the nicest people in all of Gothdom, and being around more fabulousness than can be quantified at the Tea Party were the highlights of the weekend. Plan on seeing plenty of pictures over the coming few days - I shot roughly 9 GB of digital pictures and two rolls of film. It'll be about a week before I can get the film developed since I need to take it to a custom lab and won't be able to get to one until Friday. They should be worth waiting for though...

And while it should go without saying, since it is the point of Convergence, it's just wonderful to be face-to-face with all the amazing, creative, bohemians that I usually only get to interact with on-line. I'm bursting with inspiration at the moment.

The challenge, starting tomorrow, will be not letting the "culture of excellence" at the day job deflate my inspiration.

Portland, OR "A Dark Victorian Dream"

The proposal period for Convergence 13 has begun. Gothic BC is officially endorsing the Portland, Oregon bid. Their committee is first rate, the theme is wonderful, and Portland is an outstanding city. The venue they have lined up is like the Commodore Ballroom with a touch of Orpheum - purely fantastic and perfect for their Victorian theme. Driving from Vancouver to Portland only takes about six hours... an easy trip for Vancouverites and Victorians.

If you are a registered Convergence voter, vote Portland for C13!.
