Here’s a tear with a fun story behind it. This is an image that I shot for my wife Alison’s business, Velvet Mechanism. The image is one of a fairly small number of full-page shots included in the book “1000 Steampunk Creations“.

Here’s the great part of the story: Alison’s hair was done by Nate Tsunami, a stylist I met while shooting a hair show for my friend Michael Hall.
Alison and I rarely watch television (as in, less frequently than I clean the gutters on my house), but we happened to randomly tune in while we were traveling in Edinburgh, Scotland last year. We happened to come across a show called “Hair Battle Spectacular”, and who did we see as one of the contestants? You guessed it!
