Disclaimer about the upcoming EDM event happening at the end of the month at the Pony Village Mall in North Bend β¬οΈ
I've been tagged in a couple posts, and I wanted to clear the air that I am not affiliated with this event or the crew in any way, shape or form, nor am I affiliated with the new collective for NoBe. Photos and videos from my Curtis Candids photography page, along with photos from my second shooter and our guest photographer from our past events are being used in their videos, reels, advertising, and comment hypes for this event. Typically, sharing rights are given to all "clients" of my shoots for personal use of the photos myself or my second shooter took for their personal and business socials, but should not have been further edited, cropped or overlayed for use in their ongoing advertising for an event we are not involved with. My involvement with our collective as a coordinator and photographer for our events was a labor of love, attention to detail, and our mission was always to involve community partnerships and give back to the community and future events. We aimed to offer safe spaces for those 18+ and bring a level of entertainment not yet being offered in our area at the time. Unfortunately, there were choices being made that continuously put everything we had worked so hard for at great risk, and placed members of our community at great risk as well. As a woman, a mother, and business professional, I was unable to continue looking the other way, and made the difficult decision to cut ties with that member of our crew, and those who were involved in the choices being made. While I am in no way stating those interested shouldn't attend, support local, and have fun where there is fun to be had, I would encourage everyone to be safe, mindful, and be aware that myself and the only other Coos Bass event coordinator had nothing to do with this. βοΈπ
