so, there we were...
so good.
i need to thank lisa, samantha, dad, zack, varance, mariana, robin and laurie for the fotos as well as the all mighty ADF, who fucking nailed it, as always..(i think i already mentioned, but i barely took any pictures at all)...
the afterparty pics and press report/links are coming soon...+if you have any pictures from the night, please email'em over, or send me a link so's i can snag them.(also, apologies that this post is a bit hodge podgeE but these pics are sourced from many cameras+color balances+i did my best to nail the edit but alas, it's a little sloppy+i have to go to dinner:)
cheers!

papabubble basement foto reportage by miss lisa fuller.

just the start...

i'm trying to compile everyone's fotos from the night to do a full report. but this one is a good starter..found on new blog buddy, vanache's radical blog..check it out for a more full report..+ i will keep uploading pics as i get them..

(for the record. it was the PERFECT amount of packed..+only one toupee-ed gentleman tried to steal a book..but thanks to jacqueline, he didn't get away with it..i mean a free tote shoulda been enough man.)

omfg...

damn. i'm just saying.
what a fucking great week. last night was one of the most fun nights i've ever had. so many good people with great looking attitudes+lovely figures. i am so grateful for all the love+support (+editing help+pR+candy+blog shout outs+on+on) that i've received in the last few months. i feel lucky to be part of this, here, now.

seriously righteous, just how i always dreamed it might be.....

jazzed is the word to describe my delight...

not one but TWO nominations (for the NYPhoto festival awards) !! "the future of contemporary photography"..woop de woop!
well, my name is misspelled (louis ingalls sturges) in the fine art series category+for some reason my book entry went in under the student category. but details aside, it's a huge honor to have been chosen amongst all these talented photofolk. my fingers are crossed, as one of the awards is a small book run by powerhouse, which would be a dream come true. +i have to say, if i don't win, it'll be aiyght..this alone is a really great step in the very right direction.
what a great week.
