Clay Pit
Talking to the Camera
I spent most of my time in the swamp, today, recording for my Making of a Mud Movie, Movie (MMMM). Yes, I’m still working on that. I was planning on doing some quick shots for the MMMM, but when I saw that the tide was taking it’s time going out, I decided to record some … Continue reading
Rain Update
We have gotten over 9 inches (23 cm) in the past 7 days. The creek is flooded beyond hope. I checked it, yesterday at low tide. I’m not sure when I’ll be out in the swamp, again. There is more rain in the forecast. Today, after I mowed as much as I could, I uncovered … Continue reading
Clay Pit Victory!
I devised a plan to get a rope through the anchor ring at the bottom of my clay pit. The plan had some weaknesses, but it was my best chance at success since I started working on this problem at least a year ago. For those of you who may not be familiar with the … Continue reading
Three consecutive days of mud
I don’t even know where to start. You probably saw my previous post from Friday’s adventure. I tried again on Saturday, but this time I took my professional audio gear to deal with the wind. Saturday was a rough trip; my toes got so cold in the mud that they were pins-and-needles for at least … Continue reading
Clay Pit Bondage
Yesterday was the 3rd time I set up and video taped this exact same scenario. The first time, the audio got messed up. The second time, it was better, but the tripod was getting bumped by the pole to which I was tied. The third time, I had a friend over to operate the camera. … Continue reading
Round 2 in the Clay
I just wanted to recreate the scene I failed to get, yesterday, but there were complications. First, there was the mostly overcast sky with occasional visits from the sun. That makes it difficult, if not impossible to get a consistent exposure. Then there was water on the clay from my cleanup the day before. In … Continue reading
Claypit Bondage
I wanted to do something in the clay pit, today. I decided to repeat a bondage I have done before, because it feels pretty good and I thought I might do it with an added twist. As you can see in these first 2 frame grabs, my wrists were pretty securely bound together. That was … Continue reading
The Clay Pit
If you’ve been following my blog, you know that I moved the clay to a deeper pit, this spring. Since then, I’ve done some bondage in the new pit, and I’ve dropped, head-first, into it, but yesterday was the first time I got really immersed in it. The photo on the top left shows how … Continue reading
Claypit Follies
On Sunday, after submitting to being hogtied for International Rope Day, I got up the nerve to do a head-first drop into the clay pit. I was a little apprehensive, since I had considered several scenarios of how the drop might play out. If the clay was too thick, I might hurt my neck. If … Continue reading
Claypit Bondage (video)
The weather is warming up, fast! I spent some time landscaping around the new clay pit on Monday, after which I decided to have some bondage fun in the pit. I set up one camera to capture the action. Although the weather was mild, there was a cool breeze, and the clay was ice cold! … Continue reading
