Yet another addition to my series of people sleeping. I don't feel like typing.
Anyone know of non-profits or other groups helping people in or around Tokyo? I am headed there in June and I'd love to shoot while I'm there.
So here it is. A SURPRISE WEEK FULL OF ALL ROB-CULPEPPER-BRAND POPTPOPs. whats with the all caps? IT'S ROB!
We are starting off easy here...gotta ease you in a little bit.
This is Rob's photo of Caleb photographing Matthew Mayfield (this shoot). This is up on the roof of the Phoenix Building with tiny tips of Birmingham peeking over the roof ledge thing.
(poctpom)
Rob describes this as "Caleb Working: Classic PoptpopM - Poptpop (Musician)"
More tomorrow! Prepare.
HI I'M CALEB! I AM JUMPING. HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIT
Yes, alan again. deal with it and deal with that glare.
It is odd to me that three months of this year are gone.
I jaunted up to Nashville last week for a quick and long-overdue visit to B. Smith and Val. Here is Val and her / their dog Gertie chillin on Saturday Morning.
I'm bouncing around ideas. Hopefully something will come of them.
they are going to get married.
as caleb would say...ole reliable. it is the skyline again..just completely cloudy. i hope i didnt post a polaroid of this. i need some sleep i think. and some photographs.
In honor of Bici Co-op's bike cleaning day, here is an old bike skeleton from New York. I'm just glad it is not white. Those are sad. This one is just down on his luck.
Alan photographing Bob at Winslow's...seen here.
Okay last one for today....there is a crazy WEDDING POPTPOP FEST ON THE WAY SOON!
So here is a PROFESSOR VERSUS!
I define that as a) Stephen smoking a pipe and b) Paul wearing a swanky jacket AND pantaloons.
It is a classic Vs. shot. I can't tell, but that may well be my car in the background creeping up on them. I was clearly using my 6th sense—the poptpop sense.
Alright! Seen here is a DOUBLE POPTPOP, with bonus points for über patriotism!
I don't have much of the story here for this one, but it is apparently in Chicago and or near an Obama Rally, taken by MICHAEL HUNTER. It was sent toward the end of November of last year (sorry it has taken me so long to get to it!) so I think we are witnessing an Obamagasm shot from his victory day.

THERE IS A LAMBORGHINI IN THE BACKGROUND SUPER TINY.
So a few days ago I got a twitter barrage of twitpics from Caleb & Trevor & Corey. It is like being crammed between two mirrors. But there are three. It is like a triangle of photo nonsense.
its A looking at B looking at C looking at A looking at B, etc.
The only way to make it more crazy would be to have be A looking at BlookingatC, B looking at ClookingatA, C looking at AlookingatB. This will happen at some point.
For now...here is a tiny iPhone collage of recording studio goodness.
HERE! NOW! Old school only poptpop'in.
Seen here is Caleb Chancey photographing (with a Rolleiflex) Alan Barton photographing (with a 4x5) Braxton Schell. And of course I am shooting them (with a Lomo) photographing. I was shooting the newest camera and it was designed around when I was born.
RETRO. STYLEE!
so this is kind of a double poptpop, it its also sort of a PoptpoptpoP.
Oh yeah...See also THE PHOTO ALAN TOOK OF BRAXTON as well as THE PHOTO CALEB TOOK OF ALAN SHOOTING BRAXTON
Alright..here is another cross over shot. It qualifies for electric lion because I enjoy it, and it is for 100% a popTpop.
I'm trying to work through some serious professional stumbling blocks lately. I'll share what I feel appropriate for public consumption, when that exists.
Rob scouting out some contact sheets.
