The "Women of Abandonment" II

More recently I told everyone of my "Women of Abandonment" project. This last saturday I got my all time wish. As I progressed further into photography, and became more experienced with photoshop and forums, I started to learn about "trash the dress". This is where a bride goes out after the wedding and, well trashes the dress. Now, I truly believe you can "trash the dress" with out actually trashing it, and you do this right before you go to the cleaner. Anyway, I wanted to photograph a "trash the dress" session so badly. Unable to find a bride willing, I thought well what if it was just a trash any dress? This is how "Women of Abandonment" came along. Well last weekend, I got my wish. Kris said she wanted to be involved in my project and she said I want to wear my wedding dress! OH MY, I couldn't wait for Saturday, and I had the perfect place:

The weather wasn't very cooperative, it was a beautiful day, 70 degrees and as I got to closer to the place the rain started pouring down, the temperature dropped down to 55, and it continued this way until we were ready to leave.

The place is an abandoned dairy farm that I had already photographed, but I haven't been able to share the photos yet. There are many more photos from this adventure, but I have been so excited I had to share what I had completed.
