Ben and I went out dancing last night. We went to Trash! at Home Sweet Home and The Ruff Club at The Annex, both on the LES. I've been going to nightclubs since way before I was legal to enter them. Sometimes I just get that itch, meaning that its time for me to dance under the heat of blaring lights and booming bass. I took this photo at The Annex, from the upper level which looks down on the first floor.

The thing I like the most about this photo is the Charles in the corner. The curve of his wrist seems in perfect balance with his upturned profile. The smoke he's blowing gives the photo a real depth and mood. This is another one of those photos that makes me feel like I'm there, smoking stoges with friends in the parking lot.

I chilled at Raeven's house last night, it was chill though sometimes my brain does stupid things. Hiding behind a camera always helps and I shot a few pictures I liked of the people who were there. Again, this is a picture of Raeven and Charles. I really like the fact that Charles is in focus and Raeven is a little out of focus, it adds a little more depth to the picture for me. Damn her for leaving soon! She's giving me so many pictures!!!

I really liked the way the black frames this picture. I really miss going out and dancing, so I suppose there was a little bit of jealousy there for me! Karina is good at taking pictures at clubs, where as I get so freakin confused and buzzed that I can't pay attention long enough to get a good picture. So kudos to you woman!

Some friends and I went to Buttermilk, a bar in my neighborhood. This is by far the least scandalous of all the photos I took that night. Ben and I could not decide if the lettering on the wall said "vote" or "love". Such is park slope living.

This was such a hard decision! I ultimately went with this photo because its compositionally good, and is also really funny. I also love that Charles is smirking devilishly in the background. Yet another pair of randomly matching photos. Bizarre!

Once again Charles and I visited Garth in Esco. We were going to be going to Desi's show in L.A., but she was not feeling well and her band was going on earlier than expected so instead we stayed in at Garth's, had some drinks and played a game called Talisman. It was fun and Charles, though the most reluctant to play, seriously kicked our asses. My character, at one point in the game, was turned evil, resulting in this picture.

Firstly I have to reiterate that I have always been a big fan of the candid portraits that Kore takes. Even more so, I love the pictures that she takes of Ben. The texture in this picture is awesome, as well as the color and the composition. Another amusing point I find is the Indiana's "Love" picture above his head contrasting with the "Evil" in my picture. I picked this one out of my adoration for Ben, as well as the fact that it's a great picture.

On Thursday night Ben and I went out to Happy Endings on the LES for our friend Clifton's birthday. Thats him in the picture. An all around fantastic time was had, with plenty of dancing Natashas (a la Party Girl) abounding. I told Clifton to look devastating and pushed the shutter release. oh the anxiety of angles! Later that night, I assisted a drunk Brooke Sheilds in finding a bottle of Chimay in a bougie 24hour grocery store.

That cat looks like a panda. Em loves pandas. I also really like that the colors of the cat match the colors of the room.

I hung out with Garth and Charles in Esco and played Zombies. Tacky is Garth and Desi's new kitten and I happen to like her quite a bit regardless of her tiny little head. Although, I do have to say I think that she looks a little like a kitty alien.

I love Kore's photography of people. Especially candid, though I am not sure but I think this one was posed! The first thing I thought when I saw this picture was that Clifton was obviously studying America's Next Top Model. This was a hard choice for me, however, as the three pictures I was given to choose from were all very good. I had to go with this one, though, and I think it pairs up nicely with the cat.
