Prelude to A Coming Apocalypse: Issue 13 Action Shots 1-4

Posted in Action Photos!, Issue Thirteen with tags , , , on December 18, 2011 by mohawko

A handful of Action Shots, from the abandoned streets and parks of Louisville, Kentucky. By the look of these photos, something ominous must be in the works, something much worse than a winter chill.

If A Tree Falls And No One Is Around to Hear It...

…DOES IT REALLY MAKE A SOUND??

A stroll through the dog park revealed a decided lack of humanity. Rumor had it that, earlier in the day, gangrene-plagued Louisvillains were seen limping back towards their hovels, bits of flesh dropping off behind them. Everyone said something bad was gonna happen.

Sittin' and Thinkin'

Operative DJK was not convinced. As Trent Reznor might ask, while embodying a fifteen-year-old on the terrifying verge of “post”-pubescence (where do I put my angst now?) circa 1999, “WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

Only the Birds Knew

The drivers of the cars have all exploded.

Showdown at Derbytown

This, clearly, is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He may be em-bronzened now, but when the clock strikes midnight… You just wait. Civil War re-enactment just got real.

The sky is about to open up.

Issue Thirteen!!

Posted in Issue Thirteen with tags , , , on December 14, 2011 by mohawko

Welcome, friends, to the hotly anticipated thirteenth issue of the Safety Pin Review! This is a red-hot fire poker of a story- you can download Monday’s radio show right here on the site; it’s a good one- and soak in the antique aura of the Civil War and a house filled with old objects. What. This week’s story is being worn by the inimitable Operative David James Keaton, who authored an SPR story way back in the day. In any event:

He Cast A Spell On Y’all Fools: Issue Six Action Shot #3

Posted in Action Photos!, Issue Six with tags , , on October 30, 2011 by mohawko

This scene was captured after a stilted collegiate performance of a Tom Stoppard play. The other cat in this photo is none other than G. Nissen, forthcoming operative, primary SPR photographer, and ongoing author of the story “Raccoon Corpse Excavation.”

GARGOYLES!

Note the glowing red demon eyes. He’s about to swallow a soul (it could be yours).

Fun & Friends With A Staplegun: Dual-Action Shots from Issue Six

Posted in Action Photos!, Issue Six with tags , , on October 27, 2011 by mohawko

The Literalist

Here on offer are two quite unique Action Photos of David James Keaton’s fine story, now gracing Issue Six. The first is a fairly literal interpretation of the story, taken out back-campus (look at that telephone pole!). The second comes from that chaotic hub of hubs, the single, campus cafeteria, during the heat of lunch hour, probably the most concentrated group of students (and, therefore, readers) to gather in one single place on a given day. (That shocked-looking fellow in the foreground is in my journalism class.)

Shocked & Amazed

I’ll just say again how much inspiration I take from all of your kind words about the Safety Pin Review. It gives me the confidence to ignore certain unfriendly aspects of the college experience and march headfirst into this exciting venture… If I could hug each and every one of you, I would. If we ever meet, I will.

Also… a particularly nice plug from Nat’l Book Award- and PEN/Faulkner-winner Sherman Alexie, a writer I’ve admired since my fiction-writing life began (senior year of high school), who wrote a really awesome post on his website about us. Check it out, read War Dances. Perhaps one day we’ll feature one of his stories…

Hopefully I’ll collect more photos to post throughout the week.
