One Time For The Camera Man

In a world where your instagram profile is as important as your resume and every moment is documented whether its a birthday fit or a night out with the gang. But with everyone having a camera phone, the lack of respect for actual photographers is at an all time high lol.That being said, one of the greatest things about the Alumni is the Professional Photo Booth and being able to get that printed photo like back in the Gogo. Maybe its me being “old” but that was our first IG, a wall full of Gogo pictures.

The Ten Year Anniversary Gallery was an amazing experience. Not only did the Brand receive so much love from the gang and my support system but from total strangers as well. Showcasing 26 original portraits with AR capabilities that blew people away as they recorded each piece on their phone. Toasted to the great times of the past and the ones to come in the near future.
