Description
So the day before Jason left for Toronto we sat around and drank (between us) 1 six pack of beer, and 6 bottles of wine.After which we proceeded to take these photos.
p.s. there was no photoshop used this was done in the darkroom its a "lith print"

Ha!! It's a funny one...
I saw this photo on someone's jurnal and I looked at it and said, 'damn, this is so Tom Waits, I love it!!" and then I came to check upon your stuff and saw you actually love him.
I am so good!!
I need to fill a lotery!!

*stunned*
it's Pushkin...
drunk and inspired. craking one of his brilliant though half-indecent poems to his old Lyceum friends.
it's funny how the momentary impress reveals the archetypal past - remote but living. and sad. a little...

Love the look of the photo. Very nice. Little curious what "litho print" entails. Just some special screen, or something else?

Well you say no manip but you did mess around with burning it in the darkroom, right?
Because it might be a bit harder in the darkroom but its the same thing as using PS 
Not that I'm a fan of PS

"there was no photoshop used this was done in the darkroom" holy shit! that kicks ass. Curious about the blur associated with this photo [link] i asked if the blur was created with Photoshop, to which Laura relpied "i put vaseline around the edges [of the camera lens]"

Perry,
This is just lovely, his emotions, his facial expressions...see you could have partied like at my house...but I would have drank you under the table 
I really love your darkroom technique here, it looks as if he is shaking off the dust of the past to gt ready for the future of Toronto.

oh dear, you really don't want to get into a drinking contest with me, i'm Ukrainian after all(at least by blood). Jason being russian (again by blood) it was a interesting drinking combonation...

Hahahahahahhahahaa oh you NEED to party with me then. I have out drank every single person I know, including my dad, all of Alan's Norwegian friends (at the same time), and a horde of Russian Cosmonaughts when I used to work for NASA. I have been trained well 
It sounds like an awesome time, I usually paint after I have drank that much, or play monopoly...I guess I could try a photograph here and there, but I doubt my result will be as fantastic as yours. Not that I mind really, it would just be to live and capture the moment.

amazing. the bright patches really enhance the feeling of motion.
high contrast and matte look also works great.
photos of people you enjoy being around are always the best.
