The Album Cover Photo Shoot

Bright and REALLY early(6AM) Saturday September 7th, 2002 all of the cast for the photo shoot gathered at the Aurora Reservoir to gear up for the album cover shot. The photo was conceived and shot by Susan Goddard.

The intention of the shot was to create an updated version of the Mad Hatter Tea Party from Alice in Wonderland, where lots of strange characters could have polite conversations. Updated meaning that we included an alien sitting with George W. Bush getting served by a sexy French maid, while two sexy female lovers show each other affection.

The final shot (located all the way to the right below) was pieced together in Photoshop and then digitally edited to include a visual reference for every song on "Polite Conversation".

We created the references with a level of depth that should take you some time to associate with each song. See if you can find all of the lyrical references.
