PostHeaderIcon Groucho Marx Show

At NSMW this year I started a photo project, I called it The Groucho Marx Project.

I carried around two sets of Groucho disguises with me for two nights while in the town of Yarmouth. Asking people try them on for a project. In total I photographed 289 different people in them. Some of the people I got in them are Joel Plaskett, Jimmy Flynn, Charlie A'Court, Classified, Brookes Diamond and a whole slew of other Nova Scotians attending the awards weekend.

I exhibited the photos at the ECMA's (late night stage) for two nights on a digital projector looing the photos on a slideshow, The Paragon theater for one night, with 18, 12x18 foam core prints and I have a night at the Seahorse coming up in the near future, which I'll keep you posted on.

For the prints, I decided to do them mosaic style, with the program MacOsaix. I chose to do it this way so that everyone included would be on the prints in one way or another.

Here is a sample of what the prints looks like
