The 1st ever Zipper Project© Photo Shoot Dance Party took place on September 29th at the Pierre Menard Gallery in Cambridge. It was 1/2 photo shoot and 5/8 dance party. DJ Jesse Allen of Beat Connection spun the tunes, really spun, not some laptop digi-thing.
Vinyl baby. We got some really good press in the Daily Candy and in the print and on-line version of the Metro.http://www.metrobostonnews.com/us/article/2007/09/28/01/5311-72/index.xml I set up a backdrop and lights
and when people were in the mood I photographed them
in the spirit of revealations. 
There were wonderful moments during the evening and while the project is ultimately about intimacy and requires a quieter and more collaborative shooting environment people did get into the spirit of unzipping
unbuttoning
unhooking
unwinding
winding
finding
revealing
almost
and just plain having fun
It was a long night and I heard rumour that gallery people were seen discussing the hey dey of Studio 54 in NYC at 6 in the morning. I will be continuing now to work on images for the Zipper Project© over the next 6 months so if you know people who are interested in revealing the smallest, or biggest, part of their inner or outerselves please have them contact me at jonathan@starkview.com. And a special thanks to John and Nathan of the Pierre Menard Gallery - www.pierremenardgallery.com - for hosting a unique and wonderful time.
