First of all, no photo today. Sorry! But I do need some suggestions from my local Perthites.
I always told myself that when I lost enough weight to be moderately happy with the way I look, I would have some professional photos taken. My dream was always to have a retro/horror shoot - picture 50's housewife doing household chores with a gory twist. So in a kitchen holding up a serving platter but instead of a roast it would be the head of a plastic baby doll; in an old bathroom scrubbing away a blood ring from a bathtub; rolling up a hall runner with a pair of feet sticking out of the end. You get the gist.
The problem I'm having with this idea is I don't know anyone who lives in a house suitable for such a shoot. It would need to be older with high ceilings and an old bathroom and they would have to not mind me traipsing about with fake blood.
So, the other idea I had in mind was a Steampunk shoot. I've been adding to my collection of late and have a delivery of Steampunk accessories expected this week. Yay for goggles and crazy guns and mini top hats!
Now for the suggestions - I need ideas for suitable Steampunk themed areas around Perth where I could take pics. So far I have :
Mundaring Weir (specifically the Number 1 pump station but the dam wall itself too)
Jacoby Park - pipeline
John Forrest National Park - train tunnel
Aaaaaand that's it. The tunnel would be great but it's a bit of a hike to get to it and dressed in full Steampunk getup may be a little difficult.
So, suggestions? Needs to be kind of retro and Victorian and industrial. Okay...GO!
