Since I’ve been mostly “workin’ for the man,” I’m overdue for a little shameless self-promotion. Back in February, in honor of that holiday we all love to hate and hate to love, the lovely folks behind the uber-hip new Mission district boutique in San Francisco, Hangr 16, asked for re:mused‘s photographic assistance in capturing the rough and ready spirit of their “Lovers and Fighters” fashion event. With great local characters lending their looks and their moves to the cause, including one of the designers, herself, we threw together a fun little shoot. If I do say so myself. Which I do.
Here are a few of my favorite shots from the evening.

Check them out on 3128 16th Street between Valencia & Guerrero. I was just in there last week and they have some great men’s and women’s fashionables for spring.
The phenomenal Bay Area talent, Elliot Randall (no, NOT the guy from Steeley Dan) came to re:mused before the holidays to do the artwork for his new album with his band The Deadmen. We’ve been working together since the first EP he put out, but collaborating this time around proved things do keep getting better with time.
First off, Elliot Randall & The Deadmen have truly hit their stride with “Caffeine & Gasoline.” Elliot co-produced the album with David Simon-Baker (ALO, Mother Hips, Jackie Greene… and just happens to be one of my favorite people), creating an alt-country/americana rock record to be reckoned with. The album officially releases on February 9, 2010. You can watch some behind the scenes footage here:
The album artwork was a blast to create, drawing inspiration from the warm, gritty, southern sound the band creates. Special thanks to photographer David Arnspiger of Traumantic Studios for letting me play with his photographs!
The band is currently touring up and down the west coast in support of the album. Check out the dates here and preview the music on their myspace page or at amazon.com (my favorite track so far: “Judgement Day”).
