Preview Photos: Eyes wide shut at the July 4 Party

NEXT »

 

Spurred on by the light buzz from beer we had chugged for charity, we pounced upon some unsuspecting flag-waving partygoers during the July 4 Shanghaiist + Boxing Cat Brewery Party last weekend.

We've always been fascinated by the surreal effect closed eyes can have in contrast with the actual surroundings. The magnitude of expressions, some of which slightly uncomfortable, were captured à la My Name is Earl.

That said, though we are still unsure where this spate of photography will take us, big props to the sporting partygoers who obliged us in this ongoing project.

More photos, with eyes wider open, to come later.
