Behind-the-scenes photos from Paste's holiday photo shoot

Form&Function

In early October, some Paste folks headed over to Atlanta's Portfolio Center for our "shiny and new" themed holiday photo shoot. You can see the results on page 22 of our December/January issue (try the Don't Call Me Shirley, while you're at it!) but here's a look at some of the behind-the-scenes goings-on.
