There is a party in my basement tonight.


Okay, this shoot is from a year ago. But, I'm doing a similar thing tonight in my living room, I've built a false floor of white and off white tiled carpeting and have covered the furniture in white paper and poly plastic. The idea is to have the entire room appear a crisp white while all activity within the room will be in color (dummies/people, the 'food' they've spilled, and their colorful party paraphernalia...) It'll be an abstract of the human condition - human embarrassment and pathos in all it's domestic grandeur! I'll post a picture once I develop the film.

I'm using one of those massive large format 4x5 hasselblad cameras (the kind with the cloth covering so as to see the viewfinder) as well as a medium format borrowed from the University. Shesh, I'm going to miss all their toys.

So when are you going to incorporate the Kool-aid man in your photography? Too much of a commercial reference perhaps? Wasn't it amazing though that he'd come crashing through the walls and windows of some suburban house and no one seemed to get upset with him?

I went through the web project, it looks like someone got some bad kool aid and assaulted some fellow party goers! Sir Orange was first followed by Fury Arm, who appears to have been sawn asunder, next Counter Lady had her head splattered against the lanoleum. Ouch! I don't think the killer was in the room, the surviving guest remain in shock. As for motives....I'm thinking a jealous lover assaulted the event, when he saw Sir Oranges oven mitten to close Fury Arm in the second frame. Fury Arms ex lover would be my first suspect.
