About the Cover
Aaron Ruth of Studio 13 Photography had the right ingredients for our latest issue!

By Matt Munoz, Bakotopia Editor

Black poster board, piece of 16”x20” glass, two photo lights, (champagne flute and martini glass, champagne, gin, olives, and roommate Ben McCool's hand)...The perfect ingredients to bid adieu to 2008?



“Originally, I wanted to have Obama on the face of a 50 dollar bill floating in champagne for the cover shot, as a toast to change, but the bubbles wouldn't allow it,” said photographer Aaron Ruth of Studio 13 Photography. “It was 2a.m. in the morning, so I didn't know what I was thinking. I just thought it looked cool.”



For your New Year's hangover Ruth recommends, “Four aspirin and a Coca-Cola before bed.”



Ruth is well known for his fabulous pin-up girl photos, which can be seen at his website at: www.photosby13.com and in his studio you can be transformed into your favorite star of yesteryear.
