Artsy Photos of Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence
Last weekend I went on retreat with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. It was held at a private residence in Sonoma County, part of California Wine Country. The house was built in the 1970's to look like an old Spanish Mission. The owner has filled it with his own taste in religious icons and kitsch, making it the perfect place for a Sister Retreat.
The weekend was mostly a restful weekend to emphasize bonding with each other, but Saturday night was reserved for a formal dinner, followed by a very moving ritual.
Fully professed Sisters were asked to wear their formal habits, Novices were to wear all white and new members were asked to wear purple. With everyone dressed in their finest at such a spectacular location, I decided to bring my camera and lighting kit to shoot some nice portraits.
Though not everyone painted a face, I was able to get a couple to pose for me in the living room. (In the last shot, I stood in the balcony to capture the full impact of the 40 foot ceiling!) I shot at the highest resolution, and did a little experimenting with lights. After I got home, I also played around with some Photoshop effects, and as you can see, I got some beautiful results.
You can see the entire photo session for FREE at SisterZsaZsa.com, along with tons of photos of the Sister's blasphemous events of the past few years, so tell your friends - AND the christian jerkoffs looking to bring down the good Sisters. I love it when they post my shocking(!) photos on their holier than thou blog sites with the LavenderLounge.com watermark glaring in their face!
