A Couple More

Here's another two from St Patrick's Day. With my new site design being a little more conservative in terms of audience focus I'll try to post more pictures here. Until I find time to deal with the personal side of my site, this is going to be a better place to see new pictures.

Drunk

The guy on the left was hammered but still standing. At one point his friend gave him a hug and they both fell to the ground. It wasn't pretty. I just missed the shot as he leaned over and started to spit a little bit of puke from his mouth right there at the bar. I was hopeful that it would end up being a full-fledged vomiting but alas he regained what little composure he had left and within five minutes had left the bar. I got distracted with something else and didn't notice his departure or I would have followed him out as I'm sure he lost it on the sidewalk.

Drinking

This is a variation on the image I was looking for that night. Knowing that there'd be lots of green booze around I was interested in playing with color. What I like about this shot is that the green tequila is a subtle part of the overall action. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.

About ten minutes later I shot this same woman after she'd lost her shirt. I'm not showing it here but for the record, whenever there is public nudity I try to ask if they mind me taking pictures. Looking at my shots later I could see the little orange light that comes from other people's point-and-shoot focus-assist light on her body so clearly I wasn't the only one taking pictures. For sure I was the only one who asked. So be it.

Take pictures.
