Dropping an extra set for my birthday!
🕑 Added 2020-12-18 15:00:00 +0000 UTCIf I'm lucky my OnlyFans will drop today! That'll be much more focused on behind the scenes. I wanted to be able to provide a more behind the scenes look on Patreon when I first started, but it hasn't been a very user friendly platform for that. I love being able to share photo sets, blog a bit about my adventures, and create some figure drawing references for people that like that kind of thing. I'll also being posting a few extra photos to that teir ($10+) too today.
This was an awesome day. I finished up a workshop and then drove through snow flurries to Pittsburg to shoot in this abandoned school with Maggie Tracey. I had no idea where I was meeting her or what I'd see. I stepped out of an out comissioned asylum that morning and into an abandoned school. They defintiely don't make schools that cool where I'm from. My school buildings actually looked a lot more similar to the architecture in the asylum with its solid, white, brick walls vs this structure of plaster and metal.
It was cold, but at that point I was in the zone. We barely got to shoot everywhere, but I had to hit the road quickly after the shoot to my next shoot... that.. eventually cancelled because the photographer got COVID. So instead I curled up with thai food and hot cider.
This place was weird. Clearly the site for many raves, it had been decorated in toilet paper and covered in spray paint. Once upon a time it was a school and apartments. Once side of the building was 4 floors of multiple dormitory style rooms, and then connected was another building with a basement and attic of school rooms, offices, and storage closets. Many of the rooms were littered with school desks or religious texts. Every room was spacious with large windows, except the attic and basement. In contrast the dorms were colorful. Each room had its own unique withering, patterned wallpaper.
