Steampunk

Delightfully, yesterday I received the following comment from Ms. Victoria Westley-Smythe:

I do hope you’ll forgive the somewhat random nature of this comment, but I do believe you encountered an associate of mine at the Botanic Gardens. There was a whole group of us dressed up in full steampunk regalia.

Without a picture with which to make positive identification I can’t be certain, but almost all of us at the Botanic Gardens the other day were at NDK (the major anime convention in Denver) as well.

I am happy to provide this picture, I hope he’s a member of this group! As you can see, I took some liberties with the original photo, which can be found here.

This is why I love the Internet… there’s nothing like making a passing comment about an interesting person you met only to come across a friend of theirs online.

Anyway, I was very impressed with the quality of this gentleman’s costume. Attention to detail must be a prerequisite to being a steampunk enthusiast.
