I remember shooting with slide film. What you shot is what you got. No cropping, editing, or post production was possible. I'm sure I would benefit from the discipline that comes with constraints.
Great photos. Thanks, Mark. I love the costume detail you captured - much better than their FB page. I'm going to locate your other shared photos...but that must wait until tomorrow.
The costumes were amazing. They would have taken so much time and effort. It was wonderful to see such creativity and inventiveness. I felt honoured to be able to document them.
Yes, I had a great time. It really helped that the weather was accommodating. It could have been cold, windy, and wet. Instead, it was sunny and pretty mild for this time of the year. I was so pleased it didn't rain on their parade.
I really had no knowledge of the whole Steampunk scene until I encountered it in Oamaru. The town has really embraced it. The Steampunk HQ is a popular tourist attraction all year. Next year, I think I'll plan better and go up for the whole event. Everybody was having such a good time. And they're happy to be photographed.
I feel like of all the festivals and protests you have shot and shares these are the most fun and the best images. Your enjoyment of their work shows through in the photography.
Thanks, Josh. I do seem to be most comfortable documenting festivals and protests. The fact that I can share the images with the people in them afterwards is a big part of the satisfaction.
What wonderful images Mark - they are so vibrant almost transparent - like the old days of 'slides'!!

Fantastic images of the punks!
We have the best punks.
So very cool! You must have had so much fun!

Truly unique. Nice captures. Steam punk? Who woulda thunk?
