Invisible City

The Soup III @ The Moorings Ballroom

1 - This month's edition of 'The Soup' featured Samuel F. Scott (The Phoenix Foundation), Justin 'Firefly' Clark (Woolshed Sessions), Mara TK (Electric Wire Hustle, Hikoikoi), Jessie Moss and Amiria Grenell (Harriet and the Matches), and Tim Beals (Ashes of August). Technical note for the photographers: it was pretty dark, most shots are ISO6400, and 1/15-1/30th @ f1.4 (30&85mm) or f2.8 (70-200VR). Tricky.
