He hated it......
j/k Sorry, I couldn't resist! Jeremy was very very excited and was sooooo thankful and very gracious. He truly appreciated the efforts of everyone and was very enthusiastic about getting in the suit and doing pictures. He looked very very handsome in the suit, a true gentleman
I know I make it easy sometimes
Well Im happy he really enjoyed what you guys have done for him. Im sure this will be something he will treasure forever.
Thank God he's not your stereotypical actor.
Of course a huge congrats to all of those that made this real for JB.
We have had quite a few requests for these pics in printable sizes. I am working with Philip and Jeremy on this and not quite sure how it will be handled just yet (which is why I am currently watermarking them and keeping them fairly low res). Please be patient with us on this but rest assured. We will be letting them out in higher res copies soon.

Beautiful pictures AGAIN Art! So... how'd it feel to photograph the REAL Fett Art?
It felt like... a LOT of pressure!
It was very stressful as this was a pretty big deal and a one-time opportunity, plus I am not used to shooting with almost 2 dozen people watching! Other than the nervousness, it was an extreme privilege and please to be able to photograph Jeremy in the costume. He held up very well, took direction as best he could hear it in the helmet, and never complained or looked uncomfortable. He was a complete professional the whole way through, and I think the final photographs show it!I had the opportunity to photograph Daniel Logan several years ago, and now Jeremy... just need to get Temura and my trilogy will be complete!

Wow, I have been waiting all weekend for this thread! Is it even possible that the suits looks even better than the film version:confused And the painting by Obi-Dan is spectacular Jeremy must have just been overwhelmed with this. He is probably still wearing the suit right now I really wish I could have been there with all you guys. The whole weekend, I felt like a jilted school girl on prom night. "I wanted to go with Jeremy:cry"

Just WOW !
Where to even begin ?
First, let me just say that I've not been in the presence of so many talented individuals in one room in my life. As Art said, seeing everyone work together to achieve one common goal was a very humbling experience !
I can't even begin to find the words that could emphasize enough, just how amazing this experience was. It was indeed the pinnacle of all my experiences in the world of Star Wars, and especially the world of Fett fandom !
It was absolutely wonderful to meet each and every one of you. I've not met so many genuinely gracious people in my life, as I did with this event. From the hospitality of my host's, Alex and Melissa (Mr. and Mrs. Spideyfett), Jason (Darth Miller), and Philip Wise, to those I consider my newest friends from TDH, the overwhelming feeling of "WELCOME" cannot be compared to anything else. Thank you "ALL", from the bottom of my heart.
Anyone who attended this event, could see very clearly, what a family TDH really is. It is my hope, that those who could not attend, will be able to see this in the pictures yet to come, and carry on the TDH family tradition in future events to follow.
A special "Thank You" to Art and Kristen (Brak's Buddy, Mirax), for graciously donating their time and photography expertise. They worked VERY hard to bring the experiences of this event to each and every one of us - their professionalism was second only to their devotion to "Bringing it home" for TDH. This event has made "History" - and through them, will be remembered for all time. It was truly a pleasure to meet you BOTH !
:cheers

Alex,
Words just can't say how I feel. I think I conveyed it better in person, but in case you didn't "get it" , "THANK YOU" my friend - for graciously welcoming me into your home, not to mention, asking me to be a part this project :cheers

My goodness ... there are already over 100 posts in this thread!
Anyway, I have to say this is one event I was very glad I had the opportunity to attend. It's always great meeting up with TDHers who I don't get a chance to meet up with very often, and it was a pleasure getting a chance to meet those who I have never met in person before. Ultimately though, I was totally speechless when JB walked out of his changing room in costume ... it was a thrill that I can't even describe with words.
Art ... thanks a bunch for taking those amazing pictures. Especially with a bust hand.

It was sincerely our pleasure to have this opportunity to be a part of this event and to get to capture it for everyone. This is really what we love doing, showing off the hard work of others so that everyone can truly appreciate it and enjoy it. We love being able to combine our love of costuming with our love of photography Thank you again to everyone for allowing us to be a part and thank you so very much to Jeremy for being kind enough to allow us to take pictures and for being so professional. We loved every moment!

I'm feeling fairly human again after getting some sleep, so I got my pics uploaded to Photobucket.
Here's the link to my album:

Pics range from the Comic Con in the morning, thru the presentation with Jeremy, to Philip Wise's workshop and museum in the evening.
