The Steam Gallery Volume 1

[Johnny Payphone]

The same friend of mine who did the circus shoot has employed me once again, this time to weld the clockwork/bike cog/saw blade shoulderblades for the White Rabbit costume in this year's Alice in Wonderland-themed set.  I thought the ole chap looked rather steampunk:



For your amusement here are Alice, the Caterpillar, and the Cheshire Cat:

This picture was taken using my favourite camera, a Sour Altoids tin with a pinhole lens.  Exposure time 45 seconds.

Wow! Is that just a tin, with a hole, and neg inside? Thats seems so easy! And I love the look....very Daguerreotype! Any chance of seeing a pic of this thing? And maybe a how-to?

[Clym Angus]

the original



and the piss take.....



I'll settle with "the beast" when I next see him. I have high hopes if the meeting.

[Fantômas]

Grew A mustache, only a matter of time now till it grows in then the mustache waxing shall begin ...Ooooohhh yesss there shall be waxing.

[Prof. Rane, MA]

This board seems a fairly appropriate place to introduce myself. Allow me...


These are daguerreotypes of my humble self at a college ball last Saturday.

[Baron Verndorf]

Grew A mustache, only a matter of time now till it grows in then the mustache waxing shall begin ...Ooooohhh yesss there shall be waxing.

You look quite fiersome there my friend! I'll have to keep an eye out for you and your waxed mustache in the streets!

This board seems a fairly appropriate place to introduce myself. Allow me...

I welcome you and your silky locks to this board! (Seriusly though, thats some long and luxuriant looking hair there man!)

Last sunday i went down to central station and had a small photoshoot. Here's one of my favorits (I happen to be the gentlman in the center, sitting down):

[AlexGray]

Here we go, a few pics of my pseudo steampunk looks:



In colour and standing:



Sans jacket but with glasses:



Without jacket and glasses, but I really like this one.

[Kabuki]

Sorry, these are the best I can come up with at the moment, as I have no assistant to operate electronic photographing apparatus.  However, my mobile telephone unit does have a handy electronic timing device which allows me to pose for a moment prior the image capture.  Thanks for not laughing!

[Vincent M. Dantes Esq.]

I was doing some refurbishing to my workshop, and when I went to take some photos of it, I decided that I might as well throw on something a bit nicer than my usual work clothes and jump in a few of them.





I don't want to clutter up the thread, so I'll post the rest in a new one...

[skeletonrobot]

to dream of all the things that could be concocted in such an environ... i envy.


heres a few snaps of meself! excuse the cell phone pictures, sorry.







mayhaps more punk than steam, but, you know, goggles. i also enjoy buckles and pouches and straps and such, though it is a bit hard to discern such things in theses.

[Daemon]

Here be mine.

Added:
Here is a non-steam type one for clarity of the stache. 

[amatol]

went to C13 in Portland this weekend so fnally had an opportunity to dress up and get a picture (not as grand as some of the previous posters). There were some great steamy outfits there, I wonder if anyone else from this board made it?  I do find it interesting that this a scene where I seem to see far more gents than ladies getting dressed up...  or maybe it is just the ladies end up looking more neo-victorian or goth?

[amatol]

Bajaro- Thanks. The coat is 100% nylon ... not very exciting material but it's waterproof and I loved the fit.

gpalmer- are you the maker of the amazing cog corset? (if so I saw your post on LJ anachrotech) I actually kept an eye out for it...but don't think I saw you either. There were so many people! I did wear black on Friday... so if you saw a girl in a black WWII Aviator cap with a turquise peacock feather making an ass of herself on the dance floor at the Crystal that was me!   Did you take pictures? I am wishing I had dragged my camera out more as there were some great outfits, hoping to find someone who took pics of them . (here is a link to the photos I did take...though I am still adding to it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8547080@N07/sets/72157600280065176/)

Re: Me, Myself, and My brass goggles project.
     Wherein i solicit assistance and suggestions for my the construction of my, well ... brass goggles.
Today at the Antique Shop near to my home I purchased  two gas masks


and a pair of brass chains (note the clasp i plan on using.)  They are of latex construction ( I have an old belt I can use for additional material) and I am thinking of making a band of the eye pieces, affixing this clasp between the them on the bridge of my nose, and using the leather belt to form either eye cups or purely decoratively to cover the latex band behind my head. Which would you suggest?


Re: A (minor) thread jack
   Wherein i brag slightly about how I have just purchased these beauties...
But for purely practical reasons, I plan on using them to replace the ones i currently use for vehicle extrication / rescue operations.



Best regards, Your humble servant (for now), Baron Kolskegg Xothan Provisional Lord Governor of New Jersey (Southern Territories) of the Eastern Coast of the Northern Hemisphere of the New American Continent.

[punkbound]

hi all, thought i would say ello and post some pictures of myself in the hopes of a few giggles

[Radio Saturday]

Some photographs of my sister in her jodhpurs. Not especially steamy, but, I believe, in keeping.

[MrFats]

A friend snapped a photo at my inconvenience, the scoundrel!

[Baron Verndorf]

Here is some more shots of me that yall might enjoy.

[MrFats]

Some recent photographs.

[MrFats]

For some reason, I wish to follow up with a recent photograph or two of myself, although I'm not sure the success of such a venture after the ravishing beauty photographed above.

First, a larger version of my avatar (yes, this is from the dressing up thread...but it's not dressing up if one wears such clothing every day)



Who photographed me in my old clothing!? (My family wished for a "less formal" photograph)



'tis a tad blurry...and I look far better in a waistcoat!

[Radio Saturday]

Me, in a hat I made a while back and only just found again...


And in more typical attire:


I, too, am bored and in possession of a webcam. 

[Von Effenger]

[Johnny Payphone]

Here is a sneak peek from an upcoming set:

[Datamancer]

I'm bored and wide awake at 6am for some ungodly reason, so.....

At IHOP...


On an abandoned tugboat...


with the Espada Suena and one of my new tattoos (there's a matching, sharp-toothed clock gear on the other shoulder)...


In the lab with my portable toolkit, about to head out to the driveway for some "shadetree mechanic" shenanigans...
