ethan spends most of his time fixing cars and doing gritty work which explains the scar on his chin and arm. his light brown hair falls messily across his forehead, complementing his hazel eyes which he inherited from his father. he loves a worn-out leather jacket over a simple tee and naturally gravitates toward dark or earthy shades. his modelling career thought him a thing or two about substance over style; quality and timeless pieces over branded goods and also photography. you can find him sipping coffee or tuning his guitar if he’s not in the garage.

Building a scale model is a unique blend of creativity, skill, patience, and historical tribute, embodying the many reasons that make this hobby both rewarding and timeless. When I was a kid, I loved building car models, and later as an adult I built 1/32 scale aircraft from the World War II through Korean War time period. This is a close-up of the cockpit of a 1/32 scale A1H Skyraider that I built some years ago. Too many of my completed kits did not make the trip across country when I moved to NC, but the Skyraider rests on a shelf in my garage. I also began my journey with macro photography when building this kit!

4. London (Favourite WoD Location, Month of Darkness 2024)

Next part in the Month of Darkness prompt series. I've played games set in Kent and London, and London has always been special to me, and to my OC. Nowhere else I can think of evokes the timelessness, history and gothic darkness that I look for when playing VTM. Plus Fall of London is an awesome game!

Her car was waiting for her outside, but she waved it away. ‘I’m going to walk,’ she told the driver as he hesitated, half in and half out of his door. ‘Thank you. You can go home.’

She didn’t wait to see him leave, but instead turned in the direction of the river, walking at a slow, leisurely pace. She knew exactly where she was going. She knew nearly every street, every landmark. She knew which way to go by the scent of the wind and the shape of the shadows on the skyline. She had been a part of this city for centuries.

Her heels clicked against the pavement, seeming louder as she moved away from the busier streets where the bars and restaurants and clubs still swarmed with late night revellers, or where the tube stations spat out tired-looking professionals in their business suits. She breathed in the air, cold and crisp and infused with the scents of asphalt and glass and exhaust fumes. So modern … but she remembered when it smelled of horses and sewage and discarded fruit. Soot from steam trains and the ever-present greasy fog. So much had changed in the time she’d been here, in what she affectionately considered ‘her’ city. But like new clothes on old bones, underneath it was still the same. Still London.

Before long she found herself strolling along the banks of the Thames. The water was black as a scrying mirror, reflected lights from the buildings on its edge glinting and sliding away like bright mirages. Stopping to lean on the cast-iron railing that separated the path from the riverbank, she gazed out across the river. Across from her a large boat was moored, strung up with lights and emitting the muffled sounds of music and laughter. It sounded like a better party than the one she’d just come from. But then, those were real people, not predators in fine suits. She sighed wistfully. Put me among the kine any night.

Costuming Research - Greyson Ives

So... I've been reading a remarkably compelling kink fic (Ginger and Mint). And because I'm a historical costumer (and also insane), I feel compelled to figure out exactly what these characters would be wearing. This is a long one, so most of this is under a cut.

So, to start out... When and Where are we?

Well, it's a fantasy world, so things aren't strictly bound to a real world timeline. But to get a basic handle on things:

-Horse-drawn carriages, buses, trains and cars are all mentioned.

-Trains seem to be the most common form of long-distance transport, even among the wealthy and powerful.

-Bean-bag chairs exist.

-Subsistence level hunting is very much a thing

-Yearbook photography is a thing.

-Electricity doesn't seem to be specifically mentioned.

-Letters seem to be the main form of long-distance communication.

-Mass-communication, like radio, phones, and the internet don't seem to be mentioned.

-No one seems to have to fumble with things like lights and stoves

So, to me, this feels like a late-19th/early 20th century world. (I'm going to say been bags are timeless). The setting is vaguely American/European, without directly correlating to a specific location.

Now, to get a little more character-specific. Let's take a look at Greyson Ives, reluctant hunter and equally reluctant di-mage.

Deer Woods, Greyson's home town, very much has the feel of a small Appalachian town. The exact industry that keeps it running is beyond the scope of the story, but IRL, these were often mining communities. Places like this can seem frozen in time, often decades behind the fashions of the big cities.

The Ives family in particular are borderline-subsistence hunters. Poor, even within a poor community, they actively disdain any kind of excess or even perceived wastefulness.

So, what materials would they have available?

Leather and fur could be easily procured. I imagine that probably sell the higher-quality furs and hides, but they probably have the wherewithal to tan hides for bags and waterproof outer garments.

That being said, leather really doesn't breathe. You need plant fibers (cotton, linen) or animal fibers (wool, silk), which would have to be bought. Considering the Ives family disdain for excess, I can't imagine that they'd actually buy bolts of fabric to sew up, or new-made clothes. Instead, they're probably buying used garments, regardless of quality, and wearing and repairing them until they go to pieces. (This is less a region-specific thing, and more an Ives-household-specific thing. Ben, the shopkeeper's son, while still quite poor, probably owns clothes made in the last decade.) For fibers, anything made of silk would be beyond their means, but linen and wool are quite durable, and, depending on the specifics of fiber production for this world (beyond the scope of this fic) cotton might be within reach.

Whatever color the clothes started out, they're likely to wear down to a fairly uniform grey-brown. (While synthetic dyes would be available in period, I cannot imagine the Ives household springing for Sundour to brighten their wardrobes.) If they dye their clothes at all, it's likely to be with locally available natural dyes, in fairly dark colors. (I'm picturing black walnut husks.)

Let's look at some sources! (Yes, I'm using Wikipedia as a source, because I'm lazy.)

So these are miners from Montana in 1889. This is probably actually a little nicer than the stuff Greyson would have access to, but could hypothetically be typical for Deer Woods in general.

Images of "Mountain Men" might be more useful (though a lot of these pictures would be deliberately sensational.)

Yep, that would be a cotton/linen shirt, with a fringed leather jacket.

Not a photograph, but I think this catches the archetype.

Another conclusion from looking at these: at least while still working at home, Greyson probably needs to wear a hat. Something durable, of either leather or wool felt.

So, my headcannon on Greyson's wardrobe at the beginning of the story: undyed cotton muslin or linen shirts, heavily worn and heavily patched/darned. Possibly woolen sweaters for the winter, likewise heavily darned. Woolen pants in dark colors, typical for the 1870's/1880's. A leather jacket, probably long, possibly fringed, for bad weather. (Though Greyson's jacket is later described as "threadbare", so it might actually be made of wool, instead) A haversack, likewise made of leather. Any buttons would be likely to be made of wood, antler, or bone. While hunters in turn-of-the-century Appalachia *absolutely* had the time and skill to decorate their clothing and accessories, the Ives family austerity probably means all of these are minimally adorned, if at all.

But! There's a change at the Midwinter Ball! Greyson actually gets new clothes! Which means we get to look at turn-of-the-century formalwear! For a description, we get a "smoky grey formal jacket"

Now, I'm partial to the evening wear of the 1890's, so I'm inclined to give Greyson a tailcoat. Something like this:

Bramley is described as wearing a bow tie, which would exist by this point (though I'm very tempted to stick the man in a cravat, on the ground that cravats are cool.

I'm going to do everyone a favor, and spare Greyson the truly ludicrous facial hair common to the period (as fun as 19th century mutton chops and mustaches can be), and assume he's clean-shaven.

Anyway, that's... way too many words on one character's costume! Next up will be Elliott Vale, and a dive into the finer side of men's fashion. The girls are going to come last, since that's going to require considerably more digging.

The monument opens at sunrise, and visiting early helps you avoid the larger crowds and the midday heat. As you approach the gates, the anticipation builds, and the first glimpse of the Taj Mahal through the main entrance is nothing short of magical.

Exploring the Taj Mahal

Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, The Taj Mahal is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture. The white marble mausoleum, adorned with intricate carvings and precious stone inlays, stands majestically on the banks of the Yamuna River.

In the world of dance and cultural representation, the term "Singara" carries a profound significance. A Sanskrit word that translates to 'adornment' or 'makeup,' Singara goes beyond its literal meaning to encompass the entire process of getting ready, embodying the essence of beauty, grace, and cultural heritage. This concept became the focal point of a recent photography project for my channel, Yashwishawi, where we aimed to capture the ethereal beauty of Bharatnatyam through a series of captivating images and videos.

The Intimate Beginnings at Home

Our journey began in the intimate setting of a home, where my best friend, adorned in a Bharatnatyam costume with unique variations, prepared for the shoot. This wasn't just any costume but a variation that retained the essence of the traditional attire while introducing elements that made it distinctly her own. The process of getting ready, which is integral to the concept of Singara, was documented in a video that's now available on my YouTube channel. Although we managed to capture a few stunning shots at this location, we were soon challenged by the limitations of indoor lighting, prompting us to seek out a new backdrop for our visual narrative.

A Serendipitous Light in the Residential Playground

Our quest for the perfect lighting led us to the playground within our residential area. It was here, under the benevolent caress of natural light, that we found the ideal setting for our second set of photos. The playground, bathed in the soft, golden hues of sunlight, provided a canvas that truly complemented the vibrancy and spirit of Bharatnatyam. I invite you to experience the magic of these moments by checking out the post on my channel. The light not only enhanced the visual appeal of the images but also seemed to breathe life into them, capturing the essence of Singara in its purest form.

Between Cars and Temples: An Unlikely Setting

Our exploration did not stop there. A short walk from the playground led us to an unexpected yet fascinating location—a wall that exuded the vibe of a temple, nestled inconspicuously between two cars in a parking lot. This serendipitous find became the setting for our third and final set of photos. Here, amidst the mundane surroundings of parked vehicles, we captured a series of images that depicted a range of poses inspired by dancers, Indian gods, and even kings and queens. The contrast between the sacred and the everyday lent an intriguing depth to our project, showcasing the versatility and timelessness of Bharatnatyam and the concept of Singara. To witness the creativity and diversity of these poses, make sure to check out the post on my channel.

Reflections on a Journey of Discovery

Photographing my best friend in the various manifestations of Bharatnatyam and Singara was not just an opportunity to create art but a journey of discovery. It was a chance to delve deep into the cultural and aesthetic nuances of an ancient dance form, to explore the intersections of tradition and innovation, and to celebrate the beauty of getting ready. This project, a venture into dance photography, was as much about capturing images as it was about capturing moments, emotions, and the intangible essence of Singara.

Our adventure, from the cozy corners of a home to the unexpected backdrop of a parking lot, was a testament to the fact that beauty and cultural expression can find a stage anywhere. It was a reminder that the process of getting ready, of adorning oneself, is not just about the physical act but about preparing the soul for expression. Through this project, we not only explored the visual and performative aspects of Singara but also celebrated the joy of friendship, creativity, and the endless possibilities that come with looking at the world through a lens of curiosity and wonder.

Thank you for joining us on this beautiful journey. For a closer look at the process of getting ready and the stunning outcomes of our photography project, don't forget to visit my YouTube channel and check out the posts on Yashwishawi. Here's to many more adventures in the realm of cultural exploration and artistic expression!

Tips and tricks for car photography

Finding the Perfect Location: Every car has a personality, and the location you choose sets the stage for its story. Urban environments provide a modern backdrop, while scenic landscapes offer a timeless charm. 

Mastering Light: Lighting is the cornerstone of photography, and car photography is no exception. The golden hours of sunrise and sunset bathe cars in soft, warm light, enhancing their beauty and allure. Avoid harsh midday sun, which can create harsh shadows and blown-out hig hlights.

Exploring Angles and Perspectives: One of the joys of car photography is experimenting with angles and perspectives to showcase the vehicle’s best features. Try shooting from low angles to emphasize its presence and power, or from above to capture its sleek lines and contours. 

Crafting Compelling Compositions: Composition is the visual language of photography, and mastering it is essential for creating compelling car photos. Use leading lines to draw the viewer’s eye towards the car, whether it’s a winding road or a row of trees.

Celebrating Details: While the whole car is the star of the show, don’t overlook the smaller details that make each vehicle unique. Focus on the intricate design of the headlights, the gleam of the wheels, or the badge that proudly proclaims its make and model. 

Embracing Motion: Capturing a car in motion adds a sense of dynamism and excitement to your photos. Experiment with techniques like panning to create motion blur, giving the impression of speed and action. Or capture the car mid-turn, its tires kicking up dust or spray as it navigates a corner. 

Editing for Impact: Editing is the final polish that brings your car photos to life. Use software like Lightroom or Photoshop to fine-tune colors, contrast, and exposure, ensuring your images pop off the screen.
