			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="parlour mag" href="http://www.parlourlife.com">Parlour Magazine</a> and our team did a photo shoot with Chromeo back in January at Edmontons Freezing Man festival . It all started out with a last minute call from Parlours head editor, asking if we could shoot a couple pictures of the famed Duo for an interview done by Andrea Dorrans.  Being a huge fan of Chromeo, I damn near fell out my seat I was so excited. I know that probably sounds very cliche&#8217;, but Im serious. These guys pretty much defined my high school years.</p>
<p>Scotty and I got to the show, with around 100 lbs of camera equipment. Ready for any possible scenario that could be thrown at us.<br />
We were greeted by the Parlour team, and quickly jumped into planing our assault on the shoot. The plan was to take our first couple shots in an empty hall, two large gridded boxes blasting from each side, as seen below.</p>
<p><a href="http://lairdmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Chromeo_lighting11.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223" title="Chromeo_lighting1" src="http://lairdmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Chromeo_lighting11.jpg" alt="Chromeo Photograph # 1" width="368" height="353" /></a></p>
<p>Giving us a look like this :</p>
<div id="attachment_227" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 487px"><a href="http://lairdmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/D3S_2442.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-227 " title="Chromeo" src="http://lairdmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/D3S_2442-681x1024.jpg" alt="" width="477" height="717" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Chromeo For Parlour</p></div>
<p>After we fired off about 15 different poses it was getting down to crunch time.  We packed up our gear in record breaking time, and I mean that.  What normally would take us about 15-20 minutes to pack, took us roughly 2 minutes. It wasn&#8217;t the most organized, but we got the job done.</p>
<p>Now the task was to move all the equipment up three flights of stairs to where we were going to shoot on this cool catwalk, 3 stories above a bunch of intoxicated Show-goers.</p>
<p>Just as quickly as we packed up our gear, we had unpacked it, positioned the chairs for the guys to sit in, and started shooting. We had one strobe positioned camera left, with a giant softbox attached to even out the strong ambient light coming from the right. During the scramble to get everything packed up from the last spot, something must&#8217;ve shaken loose on our powerpack for the strobes. The strobe was not firing. Thank god for the high ISO capabilities of the D3s! I adjusted my settings and began to shoot with only the available light. Didn&#8217;t exactly give me the look I was hoping for, but the pictures turned out pretty good considering the situation that was handed to us.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://lairdmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/D3S_2468-Small.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-229" title="Chromeo For Parlour" src="http://lairdmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/D3S_2468-Small.jpg" alt="Dave1 &amp; Pthugg Of Chromeo | Laird Media" width="614" height="409" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bang bang, that&#8217;s a wrap. We got the shots we needed. Packed up our gear again, only this time properly, and went and enjoyed the rest of the show. Chromeo Put on a fantastic show to say the least.  I cant wait till I get to see them play live again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found this very cool floating sculpture from Julien Berthier on Designboom this after noon and I thought I would share it with you.</p>
<p>The sculpture was made from a pretty large sailboat that has been cut in half and has a modified keel to make the boat look as though it is capsizing.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Apparently Julien has taken this floating masterpiece to a number harbors  throughout Europe including Canary Wharf in London and Normandy in France<a href="http://lairdmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/jb1.jpg"><br />
