Movember has passed us by and all the men in the community should be sporting the finest of lip worms & nose brooms. Tweet us a picture of your cookie duster to @stlegotist and we'll make you famous.

This bird looks like it's about to fly away.

Aaron Perlut of Elasticity Wants YOU.

Good Lord. This first one is a doozy.

Well. That sure was quicker than expected. Although we can't say we blame them.

In the recent months, there are certain points of focus in our lives that have found their progression on the backburners. Simply put, it’s time for us to move on to our next project. We are certainly walking away from this project with a grand sense of accomplishment. Did we make money, no. Is that the reason we’re closing, no. Many people can’t see past the idea of money, which is a shame. From the beginning we’ve stood by our valued friendship, morals and the idea that ‘This site is for fun purposes only.’ No performance art, no masochistic agenda… fun. Did we have mass amounts of fun, yes.

Here's what Paul & Houv had to say directly to us in a phone conversation where our voice is altered to sound like we're possessed:

Ego: So you're calling it quits already?

Houvenagle: It wasn't an easy decision, but Dr. Paul (I think he might have acquired his degree online, or not) recommended we not kill ourselves until our mid 30s. The fun we had it, the friends we made 'em, the House... the House shall be destroyed. Give us some time and I can say confidently, we'll have another project in the works. Mother fucker, we had us 250,000 shots of fun.

Paul: Oh, I thought it was a fairly simple decision. Getting hit with paintballs is terrible. One of our users, SHINOBI DEATH NINJA, has committed to making sure our last 7 days are unbearable. He has purchased 30,000 shots only to hand them out to his favorite Shoot Paul users. So there's that…

Looks like they reduced the cost of paintballs to 10 cents a shot to close… so get your hurt on while the hurtin's good.
FIRE AWAY!

We can get behind this sort of productive creative-community building, even if it's attempting to sell some F-Stop gear (that we certainly wouldn't be against testing - wink).

We are a group of creative folks who conduct free weekly creative gatherings every Tuesday from 6 to 9 pm. It is a weekly free event for all creative types: Photographers, Models, Hair, MUA, fashion designers, etc. The main purpose of this event is to network with each other, learn, collaborate, help each other to create great shots and just hang out while having complementary coffee, tea, and snacks. It`s a great place to meet more creative types to collaborate with. It is also F-Stop`s (a professional adventure photographer camera bag manufacturer) Marketing Studio, so it is a full studio with all the gear. Everyone is welcome to come, check it out and use our gear. You can check (and like, so you can get future updates) our Facebook page here: www.facebook.com/creativeweekly

Here's the promo video for the series which, despite the "intense" editing & screen titles, seemingly appears that budding photographers may be able to learn a thing or two about studio lighting and setups.
