Representatives from both the Frank and Seventh Letter crews were in attendance, along with plenty of other friends and family. Frank151.com contributor PartyWithPanda (www.PartyWithPanda.com) and a few other photographers were on hand to make sure anyone unable to attend still gets to share in the experience.

Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the good company, tasty food provided by the Taco Nazo truck, and great drinks courtesy of Sailor Jerry Rum!

The Wilderness Downtown

 As part of Google's "Chrome Experiments", the Canadian rock band Arcade Fire created an interesting music video but not in the traditional sense.

With the release of their third album "The Suburbs" in early August, the band, along with director Chris Milk, created an interactive music video for their song "We Used to Wait" that utilizes the latest web technology, HTML5, to bring you an experience that is unique to each person who views it.  

The viewer is asked to supply the address of your childhood home. After that, the "interactive film" takes you on a nostalgic journey through the streets of the neighborhood you grew up on with the Arcade fire setting the mood.

With the advent of HTML5 upon us, this could be the start of a new form of creating music videos.

Caveat: you must view the video through the Google Chrome browser.

Make NO!SE x DJ 2 Tone Jones x DC Life Collection (Photos & Video)


Introducing MAKE NO!SE, a new lifestyle multimedia series where I highlight (via highly stylized photography and video) DC area creatives, such as artists, musicians, and DJs, that are making noise within their respective crafts/industries. Combined, these candid shots and video will tell two stories:

1.) How this person is building their brand
2.) The steps they take to create a branded project

In this first edition of MAKE NO!SE (photography by Rosina Teri Memolo and video by Opiyo Okeyo) supported by DC Shoes’ Life Collection, I highlight a DJ by the name of 2-Tone Jones. Check out the shoot below and click here for 2-Tone’s branded project – a mixtape inspired by the DC Life Collection…

Frank151 at Rock The Bells NY 2010

This past Saturday was the Rock The Bells music fest on Governors Island in New York. Frank came out in full force, giving out books and stickers at our tent. Thanks to everyone who came by.

The weather couldn't have been better for an outdoor music festival. With the main stage and the Paid Dues stage, there was never a lull in great music. Featured acts included Wu-Tang, A Tribe Called Quest, Lauryn Hill, and Snoop Dogg, and everyone who performed really did their thing. Besides the announced talents, quite a few cameos showed up, including Jay-Z, Beyonce, Busta Rhymes, John Legend, and Chris Rock.

There was so much going on, we had two great photographers there to make sure we didn't miss anything. Frank151 Photo Editor Craig Wetherby shot the show for us, along with legendary hip-hop photographer Joe Conzo. See their selects below...

Lastly we want to thank everyone at Rock The Bells for putting on an amazing show. It couldn't have gone better!

Liquid Soul - A Liquid Arts Experience

Really looking forward to this event – its one you don’t want to miss.  The illest thing about it is that this was conceived during a conversation Aniekan and I had 2-3 months ago. 

Wednesday, Sept 1 at The Fridge DC, 7pm to 11pm, located in the rear alley of 516 8th St SE (across from Matchbox, Capitol Hill). 

Live painting: each live painting will be inspired by and painted using a flavor of Vitamin Water of the artist’s choosing.

The Most Colorful River In The World





The Rio Caño Cristales, also known as "the river that ran away to paradise," "the most beautiful river in the world," and "the river of five colours," is world famous for its colorful display, located near the town of La Macarena in Colombia, South America.

During a brief span between the wet and dry seasons when the water level is just right, the many varieties of algae and moss located at the bottom of the river bloom in a brilliant display of colors. Areas of yellow, blue, green, black, and red coat the water.

The part of the river where the colorful blooms occur is quite isolated and is not accessible by road. Adventurous tourists can now fly into La Macarena and make their way to to the river site on foot as part of a guided tour. The site was effectively closed to tourists for several years because of guerrilla activity in the region along with concerns about the impact of unregulated tourist traffic. However, the site was reopened to visitors in 2009. So far, only about 1,000 people have visited Caño Cristales, including around 100 foreign tourists.

Chat Roulette (So NSFW)


We tried to be men and watch the Superbowl. Instead, we spent hours on Chat Roulette.

If you haven't heard, Chat Roulette is a website that randomly pairs up strangers into video chats.

HIGHLIGHTS: Dancing to Daddy Yankee with strangers across the Atlantic / Finding some dude in Germany who will draw a portrait of you. 

WARNING: More than half of the people on this site just want to show you their junk.

Can't stress enough how NSFW this is.

The Best Stop-Motion Tattoo Video You'll See All Day

Full disclosure: I do not have any tattoos. Also, needles and I don't really get along well. That said, this tattoo and the accompanying video are pretty amazing. Apparently, Dabe Allen is having a bunch of vintage gadgets tattooed on his arm as part of a nerd sleeve. But, instead of just getting each tat and posting the before-and-after shots, Allen and his pal decided to do a stop-motion video of the process.

The tattoo looks great and, for someone who doesn't have any ink, it's interesting to see how much work goes into a detailed tattoo like that. Allen plans to post part two of the video on Nov. 8, so synchronize those Google Calenders. In the meantime, check out the Frank 151 Tattoo forum.

Wiz Khalifa Tears Up Chicago

Wiz_Khalifa_in_Chicago_10

Wiz Khalifa has been continuing his assault on America in support of his album Deal Or No Deal, which has been doing very respectable numbers. Wiz made a stop in Chicago just before the holidays, where the city came alive for the kid from Pittsburgh. Wiz was joined by Chicago's Dave Coresh, Tha Basix, 1773 and DJs Intel and Trentino. Take a gander at some of the photos captured that night. More photos can be seen after the jump, and the whole gallery is at 10photos.net.
