Inspiration

this candid sequence of photos was taken by my photographer friend Steve Gong when he was hired to shoot a friend's 21st birthday party. i've always loved the imaginary story he captured -- the drama (fictional) portrayed in the the last photo is amazing! i knew I had to work the story into some type of work.
