A Supra-Organic Exclusive: Random Photos of Meaningless Things
Sometimes, when the season gets cold for us here at Supra-Organic, our photographers go out and film random, silly, useless and trivial objects. There's no real reason or rhyme to this, it's just something that happens. Mozart. There, now that I've written Mozart inexplicably just before the start of this sentence, let us explain how this kind of thing began.
Several years ago, before we went on line (the Supra-Organic history of idiocy was previous written and printed on rolls of toilet paper which were then sold to the American consumer public), one of our photographers was drunkenly cavorting around after a shooting a live, animal sex scene, when he accidentally (some now say he was pushed to fulfil a destiny), tripped and fell, sending his camera flying. Unknown to him, as he picked himself up off of the ground, was the fact that his finger had accidentally pressed the shutter button as he fell and taken an odd picture of a large, horribly flattened grashopper dead on the sidewalk. As the picture was later developed, and many here were to see it - it dawned on us that such a thing - the photographing of forgettable images - should be pursued. To that end, we sent out photogaphers on an assignment, and got a bunch of hideous photographs we couldn't use. The second time was a little better but still forgettable. Finally, we just decided to accept whatever the hell our photographers would give us, so in a way, three times was a charm.
So there it is, a valuable history lessen about us at Supra-Organic. We hope you enjoy these photos, and that they somehow inspire you to film whatever you choose to film, be it old sticks of wood, large, flabby rubber asses or dead presidents which you've just dug up with your bare hands.
Enjoy!
