When you walk through the garden




JT was wearing a beautiful silver and gold shirt on Saturday night at what was possibly the most underground party I have ever been to – it was in a cyclist's warehouse. The shirt was from Decades, and it perfectly accents JT's black t-shirt and black jeans. It's masculine with a touch of our beloved Leslie Hall



At the same party, Devin wore a wonderfully subtle shirt from TJ Maxx. I've often wondered, "Who is this TJ Maxx? How can he (or she) consistently offer such low-low prices on polka dots and ruffles? What is TJ Maxx' real relationship with Ross Dressforless?" slc POMP demands answers. Seriously, I like her shirt enough to mostly ignore those damn Ugg Boots.



Paul and Summer rounded out my fashion search with some amazing holiday vests from Thrift Town.  Paul's vest has a schooldays theme, and he's combined it with a Christmas necktie. Summer combined her vest with a lovely embroidered turtleneck. Really, what turtleneck couldn't be improved with some mistletoe on the neck?

Lastly, slc POMP will be walking the streets with our cameras and notebooks on Friday, December 7 for Salt Lake's Holiday Fashion Stroll. We hope we'll see you somewhere on Broadway (300 South) between State Street and 400 East,  from 4 to 10 PM.

Truly yours,

The crooked pictures are very hard to look at! They detract from the outfits and make everything look chaotic.

Thanks for the feedback, Anonymous.
I tried to correct the angle on JT's photo, but I thought the Photoshop generated background in the upper-left corner was just as (if not more) distracting than the tilted shots.

Unfortunately, the camera mounted strobe I was using that night is an older model that can rotate up and down, but not pivot left to right. I knew the low light of the party required some additional light, but I didn't want to throw a flash directly on people's faces (because I hate the way it looks) and the ceiling of the building was a little too high for the flash to reach. Also, my photographic judgment may have been slightly, uh, impaired that night.

I know that excuses for bad photos are supremely annoying, but it really did seem like a good idea at the time. I think I'll invest in one of these to help solve the problem.

Its a perfect photo, there is nothing wrong with it. The angles make the focus interesting and I think this is a silly silly comment. Dont apologize for that you dont have enough time. Just take more photos!

yo, I agree with anonymous #1, less angle.
those ugg boots are way too much to handle. uggs and crocs can burn in hell.

but other than that, you guys are doing a great job, I really love the frequent updates.
