Zoo found out from a friendly barmaid to Paris that The Walkmen (one of my fav bands) was having a free'ish show at Twist and Shout records on Colfax here in Denver last night. Hell, yeah. They played for about 40 minutes and it was fucking awesome. Skyler Skjelset from Fleet Foxes was standing in for Peter Bauer, as his wife had just had a baby in NYC the day before. Great set full of stuff from the new album Heaven, plus many old fans.

I present the culmination of 3 years of dreaming, a nude model dressed in hand-cut paper with star trails shot on location at Barr Lake State Park. I intend this to be one in a series of images that culminates in a gallery show and perhaps coffee table book. Wish me luck and enjoy!

Matt's Birthday: Shoot at Star Bar

coloradozoobrokerComment

37 is a prime number. It is the first irregular prime.

You should not try and figure out what the point of irregular primes might be.   It doesn't mean anything.

But Matt is irregular and prime, so 37 is a good age.

We celebrated the very beginning of Matt's birthday by Making Art.  That is, a photo shoot at Star Bar, where Britt makes her magic.

Here is a bit of Britt's Magic.

Star Bar: Britt Redux

colorado, on the roadzoobrokerComment

I met Britt back in February.   She's saucy.  She's an incredible mixologist.   Her superpower is to get me to shut up with just a glance. I'm not going to lie. Getting a little intertwined whilst fixing the ceiling fan was a little ... something.  Too bad the fan blade clocked me in the head and knocked me out.

This is Britt's default gesture.
