Best Friends Day 7
August 19, 2008
This was my first time taking part in Richmond’s annual Best Friends Day, and lucky for me I got to document it for you fine people.
BFD is about hanging with your friends and having as much fun as possible. Taking pictures is also fun, but since the main event of BFD takes place at Hadad’s Lake, I thought I needed a waterproof option. I didn’t want to be stuck out of the water; I also didn’t want to worry about losing my camera to the party gods of Best Friends Day or the lake it’s self. I also felt the lo-fi quality of the images from a disposable camera would help capture the overall vibe of the day… which seemed to be anything goes. So since I suck at writing and am somewhat okay at taking pictures, here are the images in all their sun-filled drunken glory.

The lo-fi quality is perfect.
BTW, I feel like these pictures are much like the opening sequence to Wet Hot American Summer.
