I'm just getting some little tech things out of the way while I work on turning all of this into one big interconnected conglomeration of Merrickitude. :D

First Scene with Twisted Monk is UP!!!

Alright people! Gather round now, gather round! It's time for Scene 1 with your host, Merrick, and the infamous Twisted Monk!

That's right, the first scene from last summer is finally live in the Members Only area. *glee!*

An Introduction to Twisted Monk, 69 pics of bondage-y fun, awaiting NM.com Members! :)
Members can also read a bit more about this first scene in the MO blog post, More About Scene 1.

I could not be more pleased with how it turned out; Monk did some really awesome ties, my photographer captured really lovely tones and compositions, and I had a nice relaxing hammock of rope around me. ;D Makal was nearby operating the camcorder for Monk's own media endeavors... I'm sure it overheard some pretty amusing conversation as we quickly set to work putting me in rope, not an hour after meeting for the first time. :)

And yes--in case you REALLY have to ask--that rope is indeed real; nothing but the finest hemp from Twisted Monk! You gotta love that stuff. :)

Next Up: Light Dusting

Alright, I have a confession to make: I've fallen a bit behind. Only a week, though. See, I started doing the 365 project on Flickr, where you take a picture of your self/your life every day and post it, etc. I've always kind of felt it's like NaNoWriMo, commitment-wise, though in reality it's not one month but a whole year. So, I've been focusing a lot on that. But it's ending up to be quite a fun exercise, all around. It's keeping my imagination flowing, and thanks to my new Gorillapod tripod, I'm doing lots more experimentation with photography (more options on where to shoot). I'm thinking that it could work out to where at least one of my photos each week is from a set that I'll post here... but, we'll see how that goes. No promises; don't want to set my goals *too* high. I know it's going to be an ordeal managing one image a day, period.

So, since we're just over a week into the new year (I started the 365 project on the 1st of the month), that means there's last week's set to introduce. I did get it up in the members area fairly quickly, thanks in part to the simplicity of the editing for this particular set. Due to assorted server issues and just being busy, I didn't get to do any write up for it until today. So if you've not seen the set yet, go check it out!


Light Dusting: 68 pics of nekkid snowyness
And members can read more about the set in this Members Only post...

Essentially, we spent about two weeks in Portland getting royally snowed on. And it was pretty awesome. I was pleased as punch at least; the rest of Portland (and surrounding areas) was perhaps not as accepting of the situation. To be fair, we were snowed in for two weeks... Makal was working from home, the grocery store was running out of certain meats and produce, and the buses weren't running because of the 3" of solid ice on the roads. That ice also meant that Makal and I didn't get our Thinkgeek christmas presents to each other delivered until nearly New Year Day, because UPS wasn't making rounds. Such craziness! More proof of the snow is in my Portland Arctic Blast! set on Flickr. :D

Alright dahlingz; I am getting prepared to release the first of the scenes I shot with Twisted Monk. If everything goes to according to plan I will be getting those uploaded tomorrow! See ya then...
