The Imperial Opa - 07.12.2014

You know you have great friends when you can get an unexpected text message on a Saturday night that says "want to come shoot a circus cabaret show tonight?". Thats exactly what happened just a few days ago.

If you are a follower of this blog or my work you may remember (should remember) Nicolette. We have worked together many times over the last few years, including just a month or so ago. She is using her many talents to contribute to a great group called The Imperial Opa. Their event "The Grand Cabaret" was slated to go on stage in just a few hours, and they were without a photographer. Needless to say I stepped up and jumped at the opportunity. 

Below are a few selects, as well as a gallery of all of the photos from that night (Tumblr folks will probably need to visit my official blog page at UNEXPhotography.com/news since I don't think galleries work well there):

Be sure to check them out live and in person, you won't regret it!

The Shelter 2009-2013

Hello Friends and Followers,

As many of you know The Shelter in Atlanta is closing its doors tonight after a 4 year run.  Its with a heavy heart that I report this on my own blog. The Shelter was not just a bar, it was like a second home to me (and one of my reasons for re-locating to Atlanta years ago). And even was the home of my first solo art showing.

However its best not to mourn, they are going out with a bang tonight with their famous New Wave New Years Eve party. So to celebrate the bar that was opened on a simple premise of "No dress codes, no VIP lists, no douchebags, and everyone is welcome"

I would like to present to you a few photos I was invited to take last night.

Not only will these 12 images live on in the form of this Blog, but I have partnered with Michael and Davo to offer a limited edition 8"x10" print of each of these images. They will be auctioned off tonight with the proceeds going to a project that I can't talk about yet (but one that I am very excited to be a part of...and I think you will be too).

If you like what you see, please come out. Not just for me, but to show a really awesome place off in a blaze of glory. 

I hope to see you all there, and if not I hope that whatever you do tonight you do it safely.
