For those of you paying attention, there has been a little hiatus, a delay, a mini vacation even… Partly because of work, and the interruption to my sleep schedule, but also partly because it seems like I pick up every little bug that comes along since my accident. I felt like death for 48 hours, and I still have something of a sore throat, but I think I’m going to be all right. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/technical_difficulties…/1131/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br />These pics are from Monday; Lori texted me from work, asking me to get people up there, so I did; <a href=”http://www.furburger.org”>Christa</a> and Jonathan came out and had drinks. It’s sort of a hellish job, working in a karaoke bar; I hope Lori gets something else soon. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/technical_difficulties…/1131/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br />Anyway, I like my new job so far. It’s actually challenging to steam milk. I still don’t really have a grasp of what I’m really doing, but that will come in time. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/technical_difficulties…/1131/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br />And for those of you that have read this far down, a surprise: Booze cruise is happening this Friday, 9pm. The plan is to do two rounds at each bar, so we can keep some kind of momentum. Starting at the rooster, have a couple pitchers, then to the drunken fry, because I really want to try that truffle shit, and then to nancy’s, so we can all get banned from yet another karaoke bar. I’m going to be annoying everyone in my phone/twitter followers about this too for the next couple days, hopefully enough people come out. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/technical_difficulties…/1131/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” />

So this is crazy, really wild, I mean, talk about no light, some of these are taken in the reflected mirror ball light off a black wall, just insanely no light at all, but here are the pictures. This is going to be fun. I’m playing around at ISO 25k, which is just unheard of, it’s so noisy it’s an extra level of abstraction. Focus is “guess and get lucky sometimes,” other times it’s just blurry and that doesn’t really hurt things because these pictures aren’t about detail but about energy and tone and exploring places that heretofore were invisible to the camera, and a lot of times to the eye. These are places people go but not places that are easily seen unless you go there, at least until now. Enough ramble. The photos!<br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/iso_25,000/1133/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/iso_25,000/1133/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/iso_25,000/1133/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/iso_25,000/1133/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/iso_25,000/1133/0005.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/iso_25,000/1133/0006.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/iso_25,000/1133/0007.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/iso_25,000/1133/0008.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/iso_25,000/1133/0009.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/iso_25,000/1133/0010.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/iso_25,000/1133/0011.jpg” alt=”Photos” />

Lots of good stuff. Somehow I didn’t shoot any of Kanaly’s work, but he had some up as well. Anyway, Last night was crazy and photo filled, I’ve got two more posts in the pipeline for tonight. <br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/okccoco_has_an_artshow/1134/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/okccoco_has_an_artshow/1134/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/okccoco_has_an_artshow/1134/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/okccoco_has_an_artshow/1134/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/okccoco_has_an_artshow/1134/0005.jpg” alt=”Photos” />

Sometime Last week I found out that some of my friends from highschool were doing a benefit show for Make-a-Wish Foundation, and they needed a photographer. So, I ent and shot a few things, didn’t stay the whole night. The first band was really shitty, the same three chords, all at the same tempo, and the same one note drone from the lead singer for every song. It was boring and shitty. then Hundresomethings came on, and well, they were better. They still lack a little edge, I don’t know what they need, but it’s not bad to hear live. Then I had to go. The good news: they raised over $2k last night. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/make-a-wish_has_a_rock_show/1135/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/make-a-wish_has_a_rock_show/1135/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/make-a-wish_has_a_rock_show/1135/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/make-a-wish_has_a_rock_show/1135/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/make-a-wish_has_a_rock_show/1135/0005.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/make-a-wish_has_a_rock_show/1135/0006.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/make-a-wish_has_a_rock_show/1135/0007.jpg” alt=”Photos” />
