a set of pictures from "Stranded"

photos by Paul Birman

I take on more than I can handle. That results in a lot of unposted content. In the name of catching up, while also taking it easy during this final week of the year, here’s some of that lost material. Happy Holidays!

Stranded

“this was an event called “stranded” that took place on saturday and was organized by kevin balktick and mark winkel. i heard about it through “the danger”. i got there kinda early, that’s why some of the photos look like the turn out wasn’t all that great.. people started really piling in around midnight. it was pretty cool..” – Paul Birman, September 2009
