Are you suffering it? Fear not, MTKMF.COM will be posting the best of the mtk.mf 11 photos and other media to cure your MFWS (Meatfest Withdrawal Syndrome)

In a fancy tech savvy world, our photographer for this series, Valerie, took an innovative approach to capturing the essence and passion of mtk.mf 11, using her retro, and very hipster Polaroid camera.

In an exclusive interview with Valerie, MTKMF.COM has learned that the polaroid camera was not originally packed by Ms. G.

I was walking out the door of my apartment when I looked back at the polaroid sitting on my desk waiting for use, and I threw it in, it was a game time decision really, and what a decision it was….I also knew there would be plenty of beautiful people involved, intimate settings and a pristine environment.” said Gnaedig.

Digital cameras today can store almost an infinite amount of high quality photographs, Polaroid film on the other hand is no where near as common place and quite expensive. Valerie only had two “rolls” of film each with ten pictures on them. The choice to shoot was when the artistic urge hit, explains Val.

The time was right when the moment hit. It happened either at a big moment or when great steez was happening. Generally speaking. But really it all boils down to something emotional.”

There are individuals and then there is our next mtk.mf 11 photographer, the originator of blous, Mat Ramsey.

His Jowling series really opened up some eyes to the inner workings of blous, but it turns out blous was not the inspiration behind this body of work.

In a very rare interview with the elusive Ramsey, he explained his inspiration.

mtkmf.com When did you first here of Jowling?
12:05 AM Mat: Well, I stumbled across jowling about 2 years ago
as I was surfing a little thing we now call the world wide web

12:06 AM mtkmf.com: was it a Jowling enthusist site?
Mat: it actually was
and i’m trying to find that for you now
but am wondering if i’m even spelling it right
12:07 AM http://www.jowlers.com/browse/1265/
mtkmf.com: regardless….When did you get the idea to make a photos series on Jowling?
for meat fest
12:08 AM was this planned out or a spur of the moment
Mat: excellent question
mtkmf.com: decision
Mat: well like all things meat fest
the jowling series was 1 part jazz
1 part alcohol inspired
1 part herb inspired
and 1 part recall
12:09 AM mtkmf.com: Interesting
so there was no Blous in the decision?
Mat: the result was blous
12:10 AM jowl |joul| noun (often jowls) the lower part of a person’s or animal’s cheek, esp. when it is fleshy or drooping : she had a large nose and heavy jowls.
mtkmf.com: of course it was!!!
What was I thinking
Tell me about the process of creating a blous Jowl
and what part your camera plays
12:11 AM Mat: to be honest you really just got to let it all hang out
i mean, if your at all doubting your jowling potential
the camera will pick up on that
12:12 AM mtkmf.com: Who was your favorite Jowl?
Mat: and one’s jowl will not truly shine
12:13 AM to pick among jowling images would be like choosing between two of own babies
but tom
two of your own
12:14 AM mtkmf.com: well mat….its been a pleasure speaking with you on this today and congrats on becoming a member of meat fest.
