MRI’s New Logo

Wow.  We’re stunned.  Our good friend Joey just designed us our official logo.  We have arrived.  He wrote this great post about the process, and then sent it to us.  Look for this bad boy errwhere.

Team Lumiere Video

Ha!  Check out this awesome video that Team Lumiere (see below) put together from our photo shoot.  Its got us talking about our process (only slightly less awkward than the NPR piece) and then shooting some of the pictures we ended up with that night.  Enjoy!

The Albert Parsons Project + Team Lumiere

On Sunday we had the pleasure of collaborating on a design project with some Parsons School of Design students.  Team Lumiere, as they called themselves, were tasked (for a Louis Vitton design competition) to pick an artist as inspiration, and use that inspiration to create a fully realized design campaign.  Team Lumiere chose us, and Sunday night we set up a studio shoot so they could see us work and get some inspiration.

For us, it was cool to shoot more abstract stuff, which is a far cry from our photobooth work (we went back to the ROOTS!) and for them it was a chance to draw inspiration from our work, which they would channel into the fashion design world.  It was a cool collaboration, and BIG BIG BIG things will happen for all of us if they get selected for this competition.   Check out the results below, and on the MRI Flickr. Make sure to click into these…they look better bigger.

Halloween Photos are UP

Last weekend, we had an amazing Halloween, partying it up at The Canon Logic loft.  We set up a booth just for fun, for about an hour, and thanks to some amazing costumes, we got some great shots (the robot!).  Thanks to everyone who came out.

Check out The Canon Logic Halloween Lightpainting Shots right here!
