Steam Society in the News + Secret Stuff

Steam Society was featured in a little article on the NBC Bay Area Fashion page, found here.

SCI-FI SEA CREATURE: You don't have to know what steampunk is to appreciate the awesomeness of this necklace from San Francisco-based company Steam Society Designs, $28. If you're in a particular funky mood, consider their Gears Gadget Necklace, too.

Also, here is the first sneak peak at one of the images that will be used for my new fashion line that I'm hinting about but is still secret:

Infrared is Awesome.

Fast post, abbreviated text. Cool pictures!

Inrared Photography: I'm obsessed. You may/may not be familar with it, here are some examples I DID NOT take, but instead found online. Photos are taken through a camera filter that blocks out most visible light and records the IR and near IR spectrum digitally, which is then processed for different color effects. Things like plants tend to turn out looking like they are covered in snow and the sky tends to photograph darkly. These photos were all taken on bright sunny days. I just got a modified camera that will shoot IR, so I'm going to be learning how to do things like these.

Not a clue where this is, but it shows how some things like dark sunglasses photograph as transparent in the IR spectrum. IR is also used for forensics and hunting. The outer part of the photos is regular and the inside of the lense is IR in b&w to show the comparison.

A church.
There are photos that I DID take, although they are just totally experiemental shots that i took as soon as the camera came in the mail. IR is usually not good to shoot indoors, but this dragon candle I have photographed an eerie white that I thought was worth showing. I'm still just begining to learn how to use this camra that I've only had for like, 12 hours.





Crazy huh? Its a dusty dark green in the standard human-visible spectrum.
