Hawaii Shots, Canon Logic Love

Hey Guys,

So we just uploaded a few of our shots from Hawaii to the MRI Flickr.  We’re pretty psyched about the results…kind of a more subtle, less overt result.  Refreshingly simple (at least for us).  We took these on our little private beach in Hawaii late at night…running around like fools getting our feet wet and almost drowning the tripod.  Great times.  Enjoy!

Also, we just got an AMAZING write up from our friends, The Canon Logic, a sweet band out of Brooklyn and a great group of guys.   Josh (guitars) gave us a sweet write up showing some photos and breaking down our process.   Thanks guys!

Other than that, we still have the next LIVE Photo Booth at Flashing Lights on April 3rd, the Oceans In Space shoot is also  on the horizon as well as a couple other SECRET projects.  Shhh.

Hey Kids,

How was your weekend?  Ours was pretty big.  Sunday night after a decent weekend (Ryan saw The Pogues but was too sick to dance, Michelle danced like crazy at a friends Bday party) we had a great shoot with the kids from Flashing Lights – DJ’s Ayres, Nick Catchdubs, and Jubilee came through the studio to get their press photos done for their appearances at the South By Southwest Music Conference in Texas this weekend.  The photo above is just a taste, because we don’t want to blow up their spot QUITE yet.  If anyone is lucky enough to be in Austin in the next few days for SXSW, make sure to check these guys out at their various appearances!

Other than that, we got some great press from the blog Think. Now. Yes. who mentioned us in the same breath as Lastnightsparty.  Which is cool, because we’re like Lastnightsparty if Bronques did little kid’s birthday parties!   Regardless, we appreciate the love, check out Think. Now. Yes. In our “blogroll”.

OK, thats it for now.  More to come so stay tuned gosh darnit!

Well shucks, thats awful nice of them….

MRI Lightpainting on NPR Science Friday

Hey Everyone,

So, Michelle and I are speechless…our NPR Science Friday video just went up on their site, and we couldn’t be happier.  They actually made us look cool!  Imagine that!  Really though the video is unbelievable and provides some actual scientific insight into our work.  Cameras have no inhibition.  Enjoy and thank you SO much to Flora and the Sci Fri team!

Stay tuned for some awesome valentine’s day images!

MRI Lightpainting - "Blinder"

Hey Everyone,
Just stumbled across another feature of our stuff. This time the love comes from Toxel.com. They chose to feature a piece we did for 12v Spotlight called “Blinder”. Its a great shot, but its funny, the stuff that appeals to different people. This blog post seems to be more focused on cleaner, simple lightpainting shots. Ask Michelle, and she will tell you that “Blinder” is not one of her most favorite shots, but yet, its the one that a lot of people respond to. Just goes to show you that once it leaves the artist’s mind’s eye, its up for grabs.

Anyway, in further interweb news, this piece made the front page of Digg a few hours ago, so I suppose you can say that we have officially “gone viral” as they say in the biz.  So, head on over there, Digg and favorite the article!!

Love,

Wow!  More blog love from the interwebs.

We were just featured on the classy fashion music and culture blog Jetcomx.  They put up a TON of our stuff, giving a good perspective on how we’ve grown from our first shots until now.  Enjoy and stay dry.
