We’re having our own photo contest…

June 22nd, 2009


I was reading on someone’s flickr page today that they were saving up for a digital SLR and came up with the brilliant idea of having a contest to give one away. We have this old Canon 5D we haven’t used in over a year (we have taken many many photos with it so it’s by no means brand new but is in great condition) and instead of letting it just hang there we decided to give it away to a photographer in need. Here’s how it works… First, join the Day19 Facebook group @ Day19FacebookGang and then send your five favorite lo-res (500px wide @ 72dpi is good) photographs (should be obvious, but it’s photographs of your own) to the5D@day19.com. You have to be a member of the Facebook Day19 gang to enter. Why? Because. Second, we’ll pick out our top 5 favorites and post them on this here blog with your information and everything and people can vote on who wins. The winner can then trade us a print of the photo for that lovely Canon 5D with the fancy grip on the bottom. Sound good? You have to send us photos by July 15th, we’ll post them shortly after.

New! Our friends at Crumpler Bags have jumped on board and are giving away a free photo bag to the winner as well.

Summertime.

June 11th, 2009



Although it’s 60 degrees and rainy today in Los Angeles I can’t help be excited knowing summer is here. You could say it’s summer all year round here but something changes in people attitudes when the actual season hits. Lot’s of great backyard happenings, like this one the other weekend.

The calm before the storm.

May 25th, 2009


Figured we’d post a couple shots we just got developed from the past month. Starting this week we’re shooting a catalog and 2 ad campaigns over 11 days so we may not be getting much time to blog. All of these photos are straight off the CD they give you after developing your film at the Kodak Imaging Center in Glendale. Thanks Sheffield for clueing us in on that place.

Photo above is Devin and Stacey at their house up 2 flights of stairs in Echo Park.

This is how you do it.

May 23rd, 2009


We are throwing a free show with our good friends The Bronx and Trash Talk for a photo shoot on Sunday June 7th in downtown Los Angeles. It’s a real show, with two incredible bands… we’ll just be photographing some stuff during it. Plus Keith Morris will be DJ’ing between bands! It will make more sense if you come, but please do come. RSVP to bronx.secret.show@gmail.com

Spread the word!

so you can find out where we’re at…always. We need some more stalkers.

Mark Mothersbaugh for The Wire.

May 12th, 2009




We shot Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo and Yo Gabba Gabba fame for The Wire last month (a magazine we’ve wanted to shoot for forever). He was one pretty damn cool guy. He drives a ‘09 M3, he even made a special drawing for Eli! One pretty damn cool guy. Outtakes and bigger versions after the jump.
