Memos from December 2013

fun.‘s “Carry On”, and “Before Shane Went to Bangkok…”

· Comment

‘Cause here we are
We are shin­ing stars
We are invin­ci­ble
We are who we are
On our dark­est day
When we’re miles away
Sun will come
We will find our way home

If you’re lost and alone
Or you’re sink­ing like a stone.
Car­ry on.
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground.
Car­ry on.

Under­rat­ed song from fun’s album I’d say. It’s dope. This could be an alter­nate New Year’s song, ver­sus the ole’ “Auld Lang Syne”. What you think?

Any­ways, if you haven’t yet, be sure to cop their free live EP “Before Shane Went to Bangkok…”

Down­load here.

Before Shane Went to Bangkok: FUN. Live in the USA.

Awe­some work, and per­son of light. R.I.P.

In August 2013 my friend Zina asked if I could shoot a video for her port­fo­lio. She need­ed some­thing that would show­case her work but also tell a lit­tle bit about her per­son­al­i­ty and her inter­ests. We had two days to shoot and edit so we shot an inter­view and smashed some­thing togeth­er to meet our dead­line. On Novem­ber 20, 2013 Zina passed away due to a hik­ing acci­dent in Ouray, CO. After the funer­al I revis­it­ed the footage and made this short as an attempt to cap­ture her per­son­al­i­ty and cre­ativ­i­ty. I nev­er planned to release it online but now I have a chance to share her and her cre­ations with all of you! For all who are part of the Zina Lahr love bomb, this is for you!
