MY RUIN: 'Long Dark Night' Video Released - Aug. 9, 2011

"Long Dark Night" , the new video from MY RUIN — the Los Angeles-based band featuring the husband-and-wife rock duo of vocalist Tairrie B. Murphy and multi-instrumentalist Mick Murphy — can be viewed below. The clip was directed by MY RUIN 's "good friend and longtime fan", Tor Burrows of Notorious Design .

Commented Tairrie : "This latest offering is video number 5 for MY RUIN that Tor has directed for us, but this time, unlike her usual live-performance-only-style videos, she has created a beautiful world encompassing the band which I have had a hand in bringing to life with her based on the inspiration behind the lyrics of 'Long Dark Night' from our current album, 'Ghosts And Good Stories' .

"Our new video contains high-quality HD live footage shot by Tor during MY RUIN 's Hammerfest III appearance in the U.K. earlier this year mixed with footage from our April show at L.A.'s infamous Whisky a Go Go, shot by our friend and former drummer Marcelo Palomino . It also includes some very raw footage I shot of myself in my house with our Sony camcorder along with various pieces of vintage art and film we collected in public domain stock footage. All of which combined help to define the video within its delicate shadings, hidden nuances and harsh realities.

"One of the most special things about the making of 'Long Dark Night' is the beautiful footage given to us by filmmaker/photographer Asatuurs Keim of a place called The Hill Of Crosses. For many years now, I have been intrigued and visually obsessed with this magical place located in northern Lithuania. Over the centuries, not only crosses but giant crucifixes, carvings of saints, statues of the Virgin Mary and thousands of tiny effigies and rosaries have been brought to this place by Catholic pilgrims. The exact number of crosses is unknown but estimates put it over 100,000 back in 2006. For some it is seen as a place of peace and power, for others a devotion and memorial. For me, however, it is simply a scene of beauty whose landscape speaks to me on an otherworldly level when I view its images in photographs. It wasn't until Tor came across the footage shot by Asatuurs that this place began to speak to me subconsciously, inviting me to have my own personal connection to it within this song, breathing a new scenery into my language.

Wedding Photography at Laurance Cellar in Margaret River

I really love Laurance Cellar for it’s range of spectacular scenery. There are the endless rows of beautiful grape vines that your eye follows along to the edge of the forest. They have also added a mixture of colourful roses into the vines to add a really lovely touch. Big London plane trees offer shade and when combined they create wonderful tunnel shapes to frame people in, perfect for a photo of a bride and groom sipping champagne. The cellar building has a wonderful character with textured walls and large rustic wooden doors. My wedding photography is about capturing natural pics of peoples emotions, their love, the joy and celebration. If you can add some beautiful scenery, textured backdrops into the images then you are really creating something very special. I do shoot pure candid shots but I also direct people into great settings where they can then just be themselves and relax whilst I create photographs. I love the creative lighting opportunities when inside the cellar building. The beautiful wooden framed windows and doors offer many great creative compositional ideas. The warm textured wall finish is highlighted by the vintage lighting which again combine to create wedding photographs that are more than just a photograph.

Outside again there is a lake, long grass, rows of gum trees and charming character house offering endless opportunities for the style of natural wedding photography that I love to create. I can see a wedding here being so wonderful, the light is perfect and the bridal shoot can be as long as the bride & groom would like it. In a very short time you could have a lovely mix of images that complete every brides wish. You do not have to be away from the guests for very long but there is always enough choice to photograph for hours at Laurance Cellar.
