Steampunk Family Album

At last year’s Maker Faire Bay Area, in the literal shadows of the Neverwas Haul (the Victorian house on wheels), and amongst the tinkering of the Contraptors’ Lounge, the eerie whining of Electric Western’s tube-driven theremin, and the lightning-fast pen and ink portraiture of Suzanne Forbes (also featured in this issue), photographer Elena Dorfman set up an outdoor studio. There, she captured some of the more colorful, creative expressions of alt.Victorian finery as it paraded through the crowd. —Gareth Branwyn
