An interesting quote from the Corbrasnake in a New York Times article about photographer Todd Selby led me to post the photos below.
- Instead, he [Todd Selby] took advice from his friend Mark Hunter, who runs thecobrasnake.com, the wildly successful behind-the-scenes party blog. “I pride myself on marketing,” Mr. Hunter said, “and knowing how to reach an audience and build a following. What I thought would be great for Todd was to create something people would want to share.” On the Internet, he told his friend, you don’t have to be as selective as at a magazine. Share 20 images instead of one. Break the rules.
I have problems editing myself into oblivion: I end up not liking the shoot, I nitpick until I’m over it, the pictures are never good enough, blah blah blah…
Inspired by the corbrasnake je ne sais quoi here are six images I was going to let sit on a hard drive. They capture the crowd flipping their wig during The Murder City Devils at the Pool Parties show in Williamsburg a couple weeks back. Thanks to Sohrab for getting me in. It is fancy when you roll VIP: They were giving out free custom Vans coupons in the section for the special people! I sweat on mine and the ink ran though. Such a serious bumma.
