I’ve shared the whole lot of these before in video format, but today it gives me great pleasure to present my favorite 60 or so images– edited down from a body of work called “Life of the Party” containing more than 21,000 images captured in a single 5 hour evening. Yes you read that correctly…(via an out-of-control set up at our last studio anniversary party).
Click here for my favorite results.
[***UPDATE: BTW, a lot of people have asked how we edit huge volumes of work like this down to our favs. So to learn how we do it (works for any level photograher), check out our infamous post: Photo Editing 101 .]
Party pics or cultural ethnography?…I’m not the judge. I’m just presenting the priceless facts that I’ve come to love. Most of all, Happy Friday – perhaps share with a friend who is stuck in a cubicle.
Looks like a really good time was had at the event!
21,000?!? Someone picked like… their favorite 500 and you went through those right?! lol
I was hoping for a followup to the “Annie Leibovitz Shoots…um…Sears…with um…the “Kardashian Clan”?” post…
nice .. euuhhh … back?!?
F*ck. Good party.
Dude, how do I score an invite to one of your parties?
Love the pics!
Damn I wish I could have been at that party! The Seattle 100 party didn’t seem to get quite as out of control!
i’m just curious how you take that many photos in one night? if you snapped them all, you weren’t mingling as much as you should’ve! but it seems like you always have a great with your events. hopefully i can attend one of these days!
Eheh “Out-of-control” anniversary party… Love the concept.
Nice shots love the atmosphere.
Wish I could find the images but every link just leads back to the mobil home page. I’m using an iPad.
poor that shutter
Love that my friends are in one of them. Especially since one of them is wearing my Holga as a headdress.
Which battery do u use?
Looks like you know how to throw a party
Such a cool concept. Can’t get enough of these fun shots!
rick steves rules!
Was that RICK F*#@N STEVES??!!! Party Animal!
Love your work, looks like you guys had an awesome party lucky bastards lol…..
Wow, I love that Rick Steves was at your party. I have soooo much more love for that man! Great pics, and thanks for sharing!
That’s a party I’d love to crash. I’d even bring Rice Krispie Squares.
Life of the Party!

Hope you had some camera protection as I notice the background got ripped down!
I love ya to death broham, your work is beyond amazing and the things you do serve as a constant inspiration to me in ways I can’t even begin to thank you for.
THAT BEING SAID….
the only thing that differentiates these photos from the drunk college party photos that get plastered all over facebook on a daily basis is
1) the quality of the camera is better
2)these people are far to old to be jumping around like drunken ninjas showing their asses and pulling their pants off.
Now granted, if I posted photos like this on my website….well, i would never work in this town again, thats NH for you. Maybe bigger clients want to work with wacky edgy photographers, so more power to you. But in my world, this would lose me clients.
I love ya man, but trying to suggest that these photos have some sort of higher value than just really nicely shot drunken party photos is well….a little much.
LET ME ONCE AGAIN CLOSE BY SAYING WHAT A HUGE FAN I AM AND HOW MUCH YOU INSPIRE ME AND HOW AWESOME A PHOTOGRAPHER YOU ARE!!!!
word.
I think the video is a little bit long so I kinda scrubbed through it.. But I think the images you have selected are very nice
I just love that Bum! Hotest Bum of the year!
I love that bum! Best bum of 2011!
I agree with Dave C ^
