Keepers

I think this series of images are some of the best work I have created with Mj, so far…

… possibly even the best…

… I love everything about them…

… the fabulous clothes…

… the incredible backgrounds…

… the gorgeous palette…

… the beautiful models…

… and their great poses…

… I’ve called this series ‘Keepers’ because I imagine these woman as scientist-gardeners…

… keepers of an exotic biome that houses wondrous secrets (:

Kaleidoscope – Monarch Education Project

As a way of making up for my recent neglect of her, I took my sweet little Lepidoptera to Kaleidoscope

… which is a sanctuary for beautiful Monarch butterflies…

… and an educational resource…

… Flutter was delighted, she kept whispering ‘sisters…’, she knows they can’t hear her, I think she was just marvelling at so many similar, beautiful, fluttering creatures in one place…

… we ambled through the tidy walkways…

… everywhere the glory of these amazing creatures, the soft rustle of thousands of tiny wings…

… there is a cave behind this waterfall for you to explore…

… at the foot of the waterfall are happy critters…

… my baby and I had a lovely time here…

… and I’m pretty sure she’s forgiven me (:

Golden Princesses

My current Mj crush is these ‘Golden Princesses’…

… beautiful, honey-tressed creatures…

… straight out of romantic fantasy…

… the sun kissing their cascading, golden manes…

… and gleaming off their sumptuous raiment…

… what magnificent entanglements await these amazing rulers-in-waiting?…

… how golden will their reigns be?

Natthimmel

I decided it has been far too long since I took Flutter exploring…

… so I took her to Natthimmel

… ‘Isn’t this pretty, sweetheart?’ I asked her…

… she pretended not to hear. She only does that when she’s pissed at me…

… ‘Aww, baby, come here!’ I crooned, trying to catch her for butterfly cuddles, but she wouldn’t come close enough…

… ‘I’m sorry, my darling, I didn’t mean to leave you alone for so long’ I said…

… she still didn’t answer, but she came closer to me…

… eventually she whispered ‘I missed you’…

… ‘I’m sorry, Flutterbye, I’ll try to spend less time in Midjourney’ I replied, feeling pretty selfish…

… after a while she said ‘Yes, Seri, it’s very pretty here’…

… I’ve been so absorbed with Mj, these past months, I’d actually forgotten how much I enjoy photographing new destinations…

… and, of course, I’d left Flutter alone, all that time. I’ll have to make it up to her (:

Spun

I decided to explore the concept of clothing made of spun glass…

… Mj gave me many gorgeous results. I combined them with some of my previous images with leather/latex-like fabrics…

… and I started getting images like this! Mj was continuing the ‘spun’ theme, but they were more ‘extruded’, than ‘spun’, and they had become very organic-looking…

… they were beautiful!…

… wonderful, exotic clothing that looked like you could make on the 3D printer in your spare room…

… by this stage, Mj had also begun making all the backgrounds look organic/extruded…

… the whole effect looking really sweet…

… future flower children…

… dressed in gorgeous extruded petals and leaves.

Red Hot

I got fixated with developing these gorgeous red leather outfits…

… they very quickly developed to a stage where puritanical Mj considered them pornography…

… and I could only develop them by ‘rerolling’ them, rather than picking the ones I liked most, then reiterating them…

… so you get the ironic situation where, although Mj considers these images to be obscene…

… it is actually Mj that is choosing how to develop them…

… and it is developing these adorable, super-sexy outfits…

… in luscious red leather…

… that are just fabulous! Thanks, Mj, you wonderful, schizoid, moralistic hypocrite (:
