Steampunk

I only recently learned what a steampunk is after I saw a feature on Ruffled Blog of a Victorian Steampunk wedding. Apparently it’s been around since the 90s, but I wasn’t in the know. Which isn’t really that surprising…

I’m part of a little photo Facebook group and the fantastic Heather Baldwin found a local Steampunk Group called the Las Vegas Steampunk Tea Society and they were totally up for a photo shoot. There were a lot of us photographers there but there were even more steampunks, if you can believe that!

This is a serious hobby. They make their own props and clothes or combine their own creations with different finds from thrift stores or ebay. They’ll build up outfits overtime. The clothing is unreal. But the real gems were their guns or hats or goggles or, yes, even the monocle. So awesome! I think I know what I’m going to be for Halloween this year.
