"To sleep, perchance to dream..."

As promised a couple weeks ago, here are a few shots of Charity (aka Sleep to Dream) from our recent hotel shoot. It was prompted by her "Seven Deadly Sins" project, for which she invited me to help her with "Sloth." Her concept was simply to be sleeping, surrounded by her menagerie of stuffed animals. We also expanded upon that a bit with the addition of the cobwebs and the ethereal effect of the LensBaby to give it a little more of a goth Sleeping Beauty quality.

There's kind of a humorous story that goes with this shoot, basically involving what the hotel valet and desk clerk must have presumed when I was visited by this beautiful woman carrying her large leopard-print satchel, and saying she'd only be staying an hour or so... but I'm not sure I can tell it concisely enough to make it funny, so maybe it's best left to your individual imaginations.
