Fast Times at Fat Cat

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

Saturday night, the roomies and I (minus Alex, but including Chris Z, the long-term temporary couch-crashing roommate) went to check out a place called Fat Cat in the West Village/Greenwich Village area. They have amazing live jazz every night until closing, but as we found out, on a weekend night, you better get there pretty early (think 7-8pm) to get a seat on one of the couches to listen. In addition though, they have far too many other activities to keep you busy – pool, ping pong, scrabble, foosball, shuffleboard, chess, you name it. The place was packed – with NYU undergrads because of the location… – but pretty fun and engaging. Towards the end of the evening, I hunkered down with my camera and just took some fun action shots of the boys playing ping pong.

A Birthday Party

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Tom and Alex’s friend Lara Longo was having a birthday bash on Saturday night, complete with a schedule of several bars to visit (only 2 out of 4 were actually visited in the end). There were some interesting characters and I’m still enjoying my new semi-fisheye lens so it made for some fun shots.

Happy Two Thousand Great

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

As I’m sure you all know, it’s New Years Day. To celebrate the eve, we had a bash at our apartment and combined it with the neighbors’ party on the second floor to make one big ol’ shindig. As an early Birthday present, my mom ordered me some fun new essentials for my camera – a new tripod, flash cord, and….. semi-FISHEYE LENS! It was pretty much all that was used all evening, as you’ll be able to tell by the resulting photos.

There was Rock Band up here in our apartment on the 3rd floor for most of the night. People floated up and down from floor to floor depending on the mood – to ROCK

or to DRINK.

And as an added surprise, we figured out how to get up onto the roof in time to see the fireworks all around us going off in each of the boroughs at midnight.

Happy New Year!

A Jerzy Wedding Extravaganza

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

Went to a big, extravagant Italian wedding in New Jersey yesterday (as a friend, not a photographer this time) and there was quite a good deal of free booze and unlimited wine on our table, so I wound up taking a few fun shots in the end.
