Another year that happened faster than it happened, if that makes sense. Does it? It was an epic year, many moments were made and captured. They would not exist without you and I and everything in-between.
The journey began in the middle of the night at around 3am. With tired eyes and heavy luggage, 8 of us piled into the Van-ella for a 10 hour drive down south to New Orleans. The following images are the result of 6 rolls of 35mm film, the color being Portra 400 or 800 and the black and white being T-max 3200. I have much to sort through on the digital photography end of this trip, but for now, enjoy this concoction of documentary and street photography from a very long weekend with the craziest people I know.
An evening at the Van Ella headquarters is never predictable, as was proven at the last 'Sultry Salon'. What began as a congregation of art, poetry, interpretive dance, acrobatics and gypsy-style music by The Royal We, would transform into an absinthe-minded fantasy blur after most had left. I myself was in a daze and not sure what to think, but I had never felt more at-one with my camera.
