Is there any room for Image only sets in the WSM portfolio? As far as I am concerned there is! For Wetlook, we go back to our earliest stirrings in commissioning a set with Jane titled 'Hose-pipe on patio'. Image set W014 now has 34 enhanced pics and was shot in 1978.
SUBSCRIPTION WEBSITE WETLOOK We have yet another look at Jane, one of the original WSM start-up girls. She did several shoots resulting in sets of colour slide shots. Jane did not appear in any video. This week we look at a set shot in 1978 and released in our 'Wet Shots' Brochure 3 published 1983. Then it was set W14.and this is what was written in Brochure 3: Jane. Looks very demure in a crisp, long sleeved white blouse with navy knee length skirt and platform sandals. Watering her pot plants on the patio with a hose-pipe proves a damp experience and soon we can admire her black briefs and nylons. Shot in 1978 this was Jane's first wet-look set and her star quality shows in this well dressed set. The cost for a normal set of 18 slides was £9.00 in 1983 and there were no preview pics! Using the Retail Price Index, that is the equivalent to £35 in today's money just for 18 pics! So how ridiculous is it that now you can see 271 movies plus 441 image sets for only £30 on our Subscription site (reducing to £20 after one month)! How is that for technical progress? But in 1983 there were very few Wet shots and almost no Messy shots in any publication. So spare a thought for the difficulties faced by WSM in those early days with no internet and no digital technology. We have enhanced to full screen Jane's image set W014 which has 34 shots. We show as samples 'Before' and 'After' shots of this simple set which is available on our Subscription site as Wet image set W014. There has been a loss of quality since 1978, but at least you can still view that original set.
Love you, too
