“Pics, or it didn't happen!”
— Everyone, always
It came from outer space
Katie Cooper met the Dragon on one of his daily rounds and asked a question nobody had asked before: could the forge give one of her photo sets a permanent home — somewhere it could stay up, instead of being torn down after the shoot?
The answer was obviously yes.
She also wanted to shoot somewhere wild. The forge's huge open views — and the general vibe of “this is exactly where a UFO would land” — sealed it. The forge is helping with props and building one wild backdrop.
Floating lampshades
On the way to the well, the crew happened to find sheer metal lampshades. They are now astronaut helmets. That's just how things work out here.
To infinity and beyond!
Astronauts, aliens and the generally far-out are welcome. Want to play at the forge this year? Get in touch.
