Mel's UMD (and Flickr) updatesBy Mel451Posted 4/12/20 276 views
17 March 2023: Just added more photos from on of my earlier "Trash the Suit" sessions (Infact series TsT1 - the very first one I shot actually). Have added a few other photos from my archives in recent months. Due to ongoing health and work issues I'm on hiatus from new shoots for the immediate future.
16 January 2022: the image I recently posted of the bride covered in cake is actually a photoshop effort (couldn't you tell). I say this now to beat the inevitable clown who would rejoice in pointing this out, not unlike the git on Family Guy who keeps calling Peter Griffin a "phoney". The clown of course, not having any contributions of their own (it's happened before!).
17 October 2021: so much for free time for another photoshoot! Had some leave from work but ended up organizing workmen to fix my living room ceiling, replace all the gutters and downpipes around the house, install a new hot water service (I have a shower again!), fix a gas leak in the regulator, etc, etc. Plus having to fork over 2 grand to have my car's front end serviced (what happened to cars that you could do that yourself?) plus a host of other bills but including two new leather suits which made it all a bit less painful. I had to return to work to stop bleeding money. I have thought of a scenario for a photoshoot though, a smartly dressed secretary having to deal with a posh but snooty client.
3 April 2021: One year since I started these updates and what have I achieved...nothing! So digging even deeper into the dark recesses of my filing "system" I've stumbled across a few photoshoots from days of yore (and I mean yore!). Not too many images and some not of the best quality (pre digital) but I'll post some of them over the next few weeks (months?).
13 April 2020: Having some time on my hands (who hasn't!) I've gone back over some old photoshoots found in the dusty recesses of my C drive and lo and behold, I've come across some shoots I had forgotten about (age starting to show). I have sorted one set out involving a pink brocade Chancelle skirt suit I purchased a few years ago from Expressurway and immediately drenched in (cheap) champagne. After uploading these (rather tame) images into "Trash the Suit 014" I decided to go through my albums and sort all the images out into chronological order - like I said, I have time on my hands.
Oh; and a big thank you to those that have loved my images, commented on my images, befriended me, followed me........
3 April 2020: Yes, it's been a while! Due to one thing and another I simply haven't found the time to tackle another photoshoot. Even my Flickr page has been neglected when it comes to new images. A shame really with so many new outfits hanging in the wardrobe. We'll have to see how the next few months pan out (pandemics notwithstanding!). I have edited my contact parameters as well as to not "scare" people away who want to contact me.
