Flask Mob LA | January

By Minh | February 3, 2015

You can come up with some cool shit with just a tripod and some long exposures.The latest trend on Instagram right now is the late night city photography with a sick emo caption which has always been my favorite thing to shoot. I live in the suburbs where there are no city lights to take photos of and when there are lights at nights it’s usually because of traffic. Luckily for me Flask Mob has monthly meets where they show you around the city and make it so cool shit happens for photo opportunities. I saw last month’s photos and made it a priority for me to go to the next meet up.

There was already a large crowd of people when we got there. Amazing to see so many photographers and people who love to capture cool shit come together.

People already started staging out some cool shots.

Flask Mob was like Halloween all over again, but a lot more acceptable to take photos of people.

There was also this dude who was a professional fire breather. First time seeing something like this and it had me in shock and awe.

I wish I had a better angle for a cool shot.

He was like a Charmander all night.

Holy crap.

He who dances with fire.

This guy is epic.

Next to him was a dude that spun burnt wool and it makes this cool effect.

Right when all the cool shit was about to happen, the fun police came and through the down the biggest “TFTI” on us and proceeded to kick us out.

Good thing no one invited them because they would’ve known we were just going to move anyways.

Straight thug.

This guy is a bad ass. Right when he got on the bridge he gunned it and got chased after the police.

Hayle really confused on where we’re going.

It got a little rowdy.

Look at all of these people!

Some low lows. Check out that rim tuck.

Fire wool spinning on the bridge.

These ladies lit some sparklers to guide us.

I think I want to pick up this hobby.

This is so down.

We were slapping these new HOODRATstuff stickers wherever we went.

The guide.

The DJ.

It was a fucking party.

Not amused.

Smoke bombs is another thing on my list to buy.

Our friends eventually caught up to us.

But them being here won’t stop this party.

Even Van Styles was present.

LAPD eventually blocked us in and didn’t let anyone pass.

It still didn’t stop the FLASK MOB.

Wildest rager ever.

Seriously, no rules at this party. It was like we were at a photography competition where everyone was fighting to get a good photo.

She would win.

Insert poetic caption or alternative rock song.

Be the light at the end of a tunnel.

Eventually LAPD let us out four people at a time. This shit took fucking forever.

We thought this was David Vu’s old car.

LA is a crazy place. It was a fun experience thank you Flask Mob for the good times. I know how tough it is to throw events, so I hope you guys keep at it!
