    August Photos


    I’m saying goodbye to Austere August from the road with another Slurry Lather™. Again, I’ve started with a wet brush but slightly less water than I’ve used before. The idea is to get all the slurry with less water strewn about to clean up. I don’t recall if @sgrdddy@sub.wetshaving.social has played with this aspect or not.

    Anyway, this has been another fun Austere August. I will be carrying SV 70th into September. I’ll explain about that in tomorrow’s comment.

    Congrats to the Weckonistas who started with no Weck experience and made it through!

      Excellent photos all month long! Having a fresh take on the same set for so many days is not an easy task.

        Thank you very much! I ran out of steam. I was only coming up with compositions that relied on photoshop hackery but weren’t very good so I never used those.

        I was planning to do a photo each day, but wanted each photo to be unique and not a rehash of something I’ve done before. Anyway, it turns out that I can’t come up with 31 unique ideas that I like. :)
