Blue Faced Boy

Kelly at The Palace Bar, Greenpoint, Feb 11, 2011

It looks so sad and lonely, but really we had just had a big night filled with with loads of friends and fried chicken.  But the blue faced light gets me.

Thank you blue faced girl for not noticing I was taking your photo.

Night's End

John at the bistro, after New Year's Eve-Eve, NYC, Dec 30, 2010

Celebrating the New Year's the night before was a surprise pleasure - smaller crowds and no hang over on New Year's Day!   This was the scene at the bistro down the street from The Players Club as we all went to grab a bite and make the night last just a little bit longer.  Farewell 2010.

Warm and Fuzzy

The quiet night life at Hotel Demano with Ben, Jack, Naomi, and Zundel (the new one!)

Wit's End, Once Again

 Dreamy blury grainy jazz inspiration.  This is the bowler of Mike the Barber, who is indeed a barber, and a DJ.

Wit's End

Wit's End is a lovely monthly soiree in the city, which takes it's name from the place that Dorothy Parker and Round Table friends used to gather.

Dances Of Vice

These shots are from a The Dances Of Vice night in NYC. These elegant folks are getting me in the mood for Halloween!

I have been happily revisiting BW lately. Maybe it is because the Robert Frank's "The Americans" exhibit is in the air. Maybe because it reminds me of film. Right now I am searching for iconic moments and BW does service to this.

Bourbon & Branch

Setting: The Tenderloin, San Francisco

"Excuse me, where can a thirsty bunch get a drink around here?"

Knock Knock KNOCK

The Negotiation

Absinthe, a Sazerac, and Rose's Manhattan, finally.

A fun night in San Francisco at Bourbon & Branch, a former (and one could say current) speakeasy housed under the imposing "The Anti-Saloon League" sign. Friend and genius mixologist Tim Stookey was our guide.
