To go with this month's haul of photo assignments from the
Star (which started with two
fundraisers for Indy philanthropies two weeks ago), I got three assignments this weekend. The first was the most original art show I'd ever heard of: Art vs. Art at The Vogue. Almost 100 paintings were made by local artists in one day in early September, and these were narrowed down to 32 for voting on Friday. After voting, the top 16 paintings were brought out in one-on-one match-ups. The painting that got less cheering was put up for auction, and if it wasn't bought (or if the buyer allowed it), the painting was destroyed. I only got to see two forms of destruction doled out by the Wheel of Death, but the Dirty Sanchez and the Chainsaw were more than enough.
The other two assignments were more of the city-fair variety of party. Fishers bought out its German side for Oktoberfest, and Noblesville brought out its alcoholic side for Brewfest. Those two took place on Saturday afternoon, and despite the lack of destruction, I still got some good community photos.
This weekend's work, along with a cigar bar assignment I shot at the end of August, appears on the Star's website here: Art vs. Art, Oktoberfest, Brewfest.
...Thus endeth the only blog post I've written this month. School is a lot of work!
