[08-20-04 @ 2:34pm] Walked through a hospital today. Noticed leg braces hanging on wall. Hmmm. Content shoot with Bella as a
paraplegic. Asked Bella what she thought about it. Heard the answer I hoped for. Got input from Bella for an even hotter
idea.
Bella: "Me, pregnant and dead, in the morgue".
Drooled on myself. Another brilliant idea.
Bella: "We should do a bunch of different fuckedup scenerios like that and make a photo book".
Smiled and went home.
[08-21-04 @ 11:15am] Asked makeup artist if she had ever done a dead person. She had. Brain cells overworking. Asked to see
her portfolio, forgot to get it.
[09-05-04 @ 1:18pm] Went mountain biking with Bella. Found location for shoot. Rusty, old swingset made of inside out truck
tires. Found bones which looked almost human-like underneath it. Sweet Utah.
[09-07-04 @ 12:33pm] Called location manager for morgue shoot.
AFN: "Yeah, we don't have anything like that which allows adult".
Aiden: "It won't be hardcore, its more like something you'd see in a mainstream horror movie".
AFN: "Yeah, these are all working hospitals, so they don't allow nudity, and they're expensive...and they don't allow
nudity anyway. You have the ***** booked right? There is a basement that might work for that kind of situation".
Aiden: "Okay, I'll keep it in mind while I'm there, thanks".
[09-07-04 @ 2:18pm] Went to the DI. Scored big. Came home with leg braces, baby doll, pink elephant, broom, football shoulder
pads & army jacket.
[09-09-04 @ 11:34am] Searched internet for "prop rentals". Found la411.com. Searched for "morgue". Found PMSR. Their browser
title: Hospital, Medical Lab Sets, Props, gurnies, surgical lamps. Scored big once again. Called.
PMSR: *coughing* "Hello"?
Aiden: "Hi, is this PMSR"?
PMSR: "Yes, it is".
Aiden: "I was interested in renting your morgue studio, how much is it"?
PMSR: "Well, it's $250 an hour, and it's fully dressed".
Aiden: "Oh really?, Damn, do you have anything that is fully nude"?
PMSR: "Uhh, yeah...we can do it fully nude".
Aiden: "Cool, I will need it..." *scrambling for date book* "Umm October... uhmmm".
PMSR: "Why don't you e-mail me the information you need and I'll let you know if it's available".
Aiden: "Okay, thanks, bye".
Realized "fully dressed" meant not the same as a pornographer would assume. Set has everything needed in it to look authentic.
E-mailed them, waiting for response.
[09-10-04 @ 6:10pm] Went to get a second experience at "the swingset" with Bella. Everything still as it seems, bones
and all.
The truth of this may never be known, but these bones are not even the point of the exceptional find.
The Swingset. One of many, yet still
unique.
[08-04-05 @ 12:11pm] Spoke with Carlos Batts the other day about books. He's going to be a big help. Yes its almost a year since we decided to do this project. Haven't
forgotten.
