January Dance Party Extravaganza!

January 2011--

Whew. This month has been a busy one for the GOOD boys, despite the New England's mandated weekly blizzard. Here are some of the more interesting photographs I've taken over the past month from the dance parties, hope you enjoy them.

GOOD:





Here are the highlights from Substance, the Zuzu dance party gig:



Joe's new ink!



New faces ripping it up on the Substance dance floors.




DANCE DANCE DANCE




Close friends, close tattoos!!!

BOSTON IN ACTION

December 2010--

I've been on a computer hiatus for the past few weeks as I went to California and essentially spent most of my time collecting more freckles and *gasp* getting busy with my new 50 mm f 1.4. More stuff to come.

December was a busy month for GOOD--aside from the Model and the newly acquired Substance night at Zuzu, they just created a night called Action at The Good Life in Downtown Boston. The night started with the 80s bmx movie RAD and launched into a night of dancing.

The night we be bimonthly and the new space definitely lends itself to a more eclectic crew of people. Oddly enough there was an office party happening in the Action space, launching some middle aged break dancing, rafter dangling and tailfeather shaking that only our parents could compete with.



Superb Bicycles manager Jason Hollingsworth aka DJ Mayhem spins a set.



Local photographer Heather McGrath pauses mid dance for a pose.


Courier Ben getting horizontal.



Maniac smiling.




Please take a look at the Good wordpress for extra photographs, I try and keep it limited to just a few of my favorite on this thing!

GOOD > COLD.

December 1, 2010-

Boston has been unseasonably warm this year. So warm, that many Bostonians prematurely nest when weather.com reads 32 degrees.

Ahem. (On a cold day off you will find me snuggled under the covers until an hour I don't want to pixelize on the internet due to shame.)


While the bonus of this season has been that Ye Olde Winter Beater Bikes are still in storage, it means that when the fates align and a cold day matches up with an event, attendence is sparse.

December 1st was one of these exceptional days, dipping below the 30 degree mark. Our faithful heroes Gavin Heverly and Joe Boudreau worried about attendance for their GOOD dance night.

But of course, against all odds, people started filing in at 11:15--and stayed until the Model closed its doors for the evening.

So essentially if my past posts haven't been testaments enough for these two DJs, I hope this little anecdote adds additional incentive for you to check it out.

These are just a few of my favorite photographs from the evening, the rest will be posted on GOOD's facebook page and blog.





Dancing!


Model employee Ryan kicks it up a notch on the dance floor. Seriously, this guy looks exactly like Russel Crowe circa "The Thing".



Model DJ and regular Tully dances like he's never danced before.



Freezepop's Sean Drinkwater caught in conversation.



Some serious acting out of Real Life's "Angel".



James freaking out on the dance floor!

The next GOOD is December 19th. SEE YOU THERE!

Projects, Projects AND MORE PROJECTS

Summer/Fall 2010--

Wow. It's been far far too long since I've updated this. I promised myself I would try to create an update every two weeks, at minimum, to ensure that I'm really pushing myself photographically, but obviously the former has taken over the latter.

The past few months have been incredibly busy. In between the ceaseless job hunt, working at cafenation, interning with Proxy Apparel, starting my total website overhaul (stay tuned!!!) and being the SICKEST of my life (by sick, I do not mean "sick swells bra lets go down to the beach and hang ten with our bros super excellent happy time" sick that's familiar in my native land of San Diego, but sick "Oh hey, going to faint once every few days, be unable to exercise and essentially read the LOTR trilogy for a summer" sick), it's been crammed.

Good news: Projects A PLENTY!

Bad news: Confronting the harsh reality that my unrealistic aspirations of becoming a financial and employd rock mere months after graduating college are totally unfeasible.

A few posts ago, I introduced Gavin's dance night love child--GOOD. Good has become GREAT, drawing a eclectic crowd of Allston socialites, alcoholics, fashionistas, cyclists and musicians like zombies to flesh carrion. The turnout has been incredible, and I've been able to try my hand at more party photography, which has proven to be as awesome and ephemeral as I could've hoped, satiating my ADD.



Boston courier Ben getting rowdy.



Guest DJ and Bodega babe Caitlin getting spicy in her FABULOUS leopard onesie.




Fibers artist Hanna dancing about on the model dance floor.




Caitlin was so kind as to take a picture of one of my besties Hanna, myself and good friend Olivia being cutesy.

Well, those are the highlights from last time. I've got some more interesting shots all up on my harddrive that I'll post sometime in the near future for a "best of".

Until then, check out the Model Cafe every other Sunday (this Sunday) and usually the last Thursday of every month for their sister event--BANGERS.

ALSO--GAVIN AND JOE ARE CROSSING OVER THE CHARLES RIVER INTO CAMBRIDGE FOR SUBSTANCE, at Zuzu on Mass Ave. Wednesday before Thanksgiving is the debut evening, so I hope to see you all there!
