Description

If Alice was thrown not into wonderland, but a smokey bar what would she see through the looking glass?


......


Taken at the Starfuzz Music Video Shoot for "Break It" at the Bluebird Theater in Denver, CO. On this day the featured extras (myself included) were filming a scene at a bar. I really enjoyed the lighting and the way the fog played with the setting. I loved this photo and edited it almost imeditly after I took it as this was right before a lunch break. However, after lunch upon resuming filming I was very sadden. I felt such strong emotion from this photo when I first took it but after getting to know this model a little better I really began to dislike this photo.
I found out that many of the featured extras that came that day were not of age as was to be expected but fricking MIDDLE SCHOOLERS! We were filming bar scenes and they had to give everyone fake beer and have the middle schoolers stay out of the shot except from viewed from behind so people wouldn't see their young faces. (Mind you I'm just a year and a half off from leagal drinking age as well...but at least I look the part as a person in a bar...)
The age difference wouldn't have been a problem but the young 'actresses' were spoiled and vain. This particual girl would shove herself to the front of any scene and just acted her age...after seeing this over two says of shooting I wished I hadn't gotten to know more about her. I liked this photo but now that I know that the person in it has no thoughts of real importance it looses a certain quality in my eyes. But I decided to share it as it is a good photo.

......

The Alice idea came up with looking at the girl's blond hair and then the shot glasses and thinking about the childishness of this girl. I wondered how a child of 12 years can find it so easy to act the part of a drunk at a bar... This photo just makes me so sad....
