There’s a post about momentum coming, but to tide everyone over until I can get that together, here’s some photos from earlier in the week. Francois, on wednesday: <br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/some_random_photos:/1230/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />Ray-guns, at McNellie’s:<br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/some_random_photos:/1230/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />Cody at blue note:<br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/some_random_photos:/1230/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />It was one of those nights where I was the drunk one. Not as drunk as some people, though, and that turned out to be a good thing. I told Sarah early on in the night that I’d make sure she got home alright. She did, and I crashed on her couch. My good deed for the week done, I give you the morning after:<br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/some_random_photos:/1230/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br />More in a few minutes, when I get the real momentum post together.

<br />So, this is a New Idea. At least, I think it’s new, and if it isn’t, well, I don’t know anybody that does it. The idea is, a lot of people like to have good pictures of their family; in fact, this is the only thing a lot of people care to have pictures of. But studio pictures from places like walmart or sears or even glamour shots suck.<br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/candid_portraits_for_hire/1232/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />So instead of a studio, what about the home? And instead of a quick grin-and-grab, what about spending some time with the family, say two hours- over dinner, maybe, or an afternoon in the park? Candid pictures the whole time, and give the family digital copies that they can do whatever they want with? If they want to order prints through me, that’s fine, but I’d rather make money shooting than printing, so that’s where the charges come from.<br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/candid_portraits_for_hire/1232/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />The pictures here in this post were shot in the space of about an hour and a half; These aren’t all of the keepers, just enough for a teaser. I ended up sending the family 25 images in all, all of which I was happy with.<br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/candid_portraits_for_hire/1232/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />So, if anyone is interested in this being done with their family, just drop me a line at my email, rates are negotiable, and depend on how much and what you want me to do.<br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/candid_portraits_for_hire/1232/0005.jpg” alt=”Photos” />

Last night was portrait night, or a really wild ass night, or a depressing fucker, or a wild debauch, all depending on your perspective. Crying girls, a night in the drunk tank, someone got neck punched, someone else got shot down, couple people got laid (I assume), someone went 59mph on rollers, it goes on and on. Me, I took it mellow, took some pictures, and passed out on a couch. I’m feeling lazy, so here’s photos. If you want more details, call someone who knows. <br /><br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/perspectives?_more_like_photos/1234/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos”/><br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/perspectives?_more_like_photos/1234/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos”/><br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/perspectives?_more_like_photos/1234/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos”/><br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/perspectives?_more_like_photos/1234/0005.jpg” alt=”Photos”/><br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/perspectives?_more_like_photos/1234/0006.jpg” alt=”Photos”/><br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/perspectives?_more_like_photos/1234/0007.jpg” alt=”Photos”/><br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/perspectives?_more_like_photos/1234/0008.jpg” alt=”Photos”/><br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/perspectives?_more_like_photos/1234/0009.jpg” alt=”Photos”/><br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/perspectives?_more_like_photos/1234/0010.jpg” alt=”Photos”/><br /><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/perspectives?_more_like_photos/1234/0011.jpg” alt=”Photos”/>

Warning: this thing does contain some explicit images, so if boobs offend you, f off until you grow up, ok? On with the show:<br /><br /><object width=”640” height=”385”><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/-dYnKUyoyg8&hl=en&fs=1”></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/-dYnKUyoyg8&hl=en&fs=1” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”640” height=”385”></embed></object><br /><br />Found via <a href=”http://www.1854.eu/“>1854</a>, the blog of the British journal of photography. Appearently somebody is trying to get this banned or unbanned at a festival across the pond. That story is <a href=”http://www.bjp-online.com/public/showPage.html?page=840363”>here</a>. Cool work, anyway.
