I suppose, as long as no one's easily offended by a clown! Give me a few to load the other cards on, as you'd probably like our "mad scientist" (but not really) pics

Okay, not the mad scientist ones- but a weird attic type one instead!

That's really nice!

I really really love this...you are awesome on so many levels!

The clown one made me giggle    looks like it was a fun shoot.

Thank you ladies

and yeah. He's good at being goofy - I have some really weird ones i'm still working on ! He also had a little violin that he kept taking out and playing, I'll have to find one and post it. I think I just fell in love with it-it was my favorite prop!

edit: I love how you two posted at exactly the same time too!

Sounds awesome!

Lol I'm basically going back and forth between here and our pm.  It's acting weird, btw...last few didn't show up as unread on top, luckily I was in my inbox and saw it was bold.  Is it working on your end?

it's working, but on a delay. Kinda weird ! I think sometimes the envelope just needs a moment to show up.

and yeah. He was a lot of fun- i think we're going to shoot again, and he's going to bring a few other clowning friends with him too !

Is he an actual clown?  You should check out their act, may give you ideas!  And please, dear god, tell me they have a clown car!!

Yeah, he is an actual clown!

And I had asked about the clown car yesterday actually. He isn't trained in that type of clowning, he's more of a theatrical clown! Used to go off the name Happy Dan the Music Man

Trained?  As in clown college???  This thread just made my life!

yes, you are correct. There are different training for different types of clowning. There are different eras of clowning historically, and there's even a clown hierachy!

the type of clown my guy is, vs the type pf clown the circus guy is with the elongated head and make up are two different kinds of clowns,. My guy is more modern- the above guy would be more historical.

Don't worry about the delay; I was out playing in Holyoke at a Merry Go Round! Got a ride too

and yeah. clowning is pretty complicated and fascinating!

Look at images of circe du soliel clowns for inspiration, they look awesome.

I used to be afraid of clowns when I was little!

Ohhh, that's a really good idea- I'll have to do that for our next shoot!

and yeah, I used to too. But i think a lot of it was the make up - THAT was creepy. I really liked that the clown guy I shot with used a little bit of make up; rouge and lipstick, but that was pretty much it. And a red clown nose, but that's a given too!

Wait...there's a Holyoke there too?  My friend was just working at a place called Holyoke in Cali, I think.

*giggity* at "got a ride"    Hope he bought you dinner first    (I'm totally going to hell for making a children's ride dirty.)

More pics!!!
