Strange Weather
Ok, it has been a while but I had a bad taste in my mouth with all the "mob" crap that was going on from phillies to pinatas. In the beginning of December Red Ox ventured up to Brooklyn to Mark Goodman's Strange Weather studio. It was definitely a learning experience. We hope to finish our album in the next few months and let it speak for itself. In the meantime here are a few photos from the 3 days of work we put in there.

Pinatas are for suckers
It's Pinata time everyone, and Carnival Cruise picked the weekend between Barack Obama's win and the Phillies winning the World Series in Philadelphia. Ridiculous. This sucked SOOOO bad.
1) There was very little planning for the thousands of people who showed up.
2) No crowd control.
3) All the candy was shitty and generic.
4) Who really does give a shit about Carnival Cruise anyway.
As you may be able to tell from these shots we had to start making our own fun in between staring at the totally excessive pinata and laughing at the futile attempt of of the Cruise staff controlling the angry mob hungry for candy.
At the end it was a total bust. Philly misbehaved so much that they punished us by not smashing the pinata with the big plastic wrecking ball. Shame on us.

PhilliesWin
Last night, if you haven't heard, the Phillies won the World Series. The last 3 innings were a real cliff hanger. I was convinced something bad was going to happen to our boys. Then while I glanced away for a second we did it! Before I even saw the TV again I heard the whole city exhale. Outside a heard of horns, firecrackers, screaming the whole house was all raised up and shit. I'm not one to take the best photos after boozing it up a bit so excuse the blurriness.

Demirep
I was playing around with two photos from the MONA shoot last night. I especially loved the long exposure shots showing the movement and color from the dresses. I just took these two favorites bumped up the contrast, brightness, and erased some of the asphalt. I know the purist left me last night as i was doing this but I felt these images needed a bit more than the everyday canned moment that I'm normally so romantic about.
