Lookin' For A Good Time

Last night's First Friday went awesomely.

I was concerned that I would be standing there bored for three hours feeling like I was in the way of all the wonderful photographs. But early in the evening Matt offered me the opportunity to play with one of his flashes. And then he offered the other flash and his Pocket Wizards - antennas that fire a flash from across the room. How could I refuse?

So I spent most of the evening blinding people unnecessarily with equipment that was too much for me. In other words, I had the bestest time evAR and didn't want to give the equipment back.

You can see all of the photos I took during the show on Flickr.

But I had fun, and I met a bunch of really great people through the show, even one who introduced herself by admitting to stalking me all over the world-wide webs. But by the end of the evening she had completely won me over and I wanted to drag her home with me for entertainment.

First Friday at Kinley's - John

John and Heidi even swung by to say hi and coo over the photos (I threatened them with blackmail and also they owed me for standing me up at a party a few weekends ago). Heidi was quicker at dodging my camera than John was, but whatever. I'll get her back.

The photos will be hanging at Kinley's for the entire month of April. If you do get a chance to swing by, I'd love to hear your opinion on the show and how you think my photos are the best ones there.

5 Love Notes

I'd like to thank you for taking that picture and showing the world (wide web) how I don't even care to shave for my sister's show. For those that know me only as a trimmed, well-kept, clean-shaven man....probably don't know me.
Your snowflake was a MUCH better shot than the other beside yours (and you know I've no reason to kiss ass - unless you will be the next desired photog of the nation. Then, consider it kissed).

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen you shaved. But thanks for coming, guys! And I hope the rest of your evening went well.

Aw, you blogged about me! Awesome! I am enjoying 365. Friday was so fun. I hope we get to do it again soon!

Rachel: That's because I knew you wouldn't let me rest until I told the interweb you were my new bestest friend.

Although I have one image in the Kinley's show, I could not attend. Bummer. It sounds like I missed-out!
