mad men

Killing time at the bar before taking the trolley over to the wedding. I wanted blown highlights and more of a silhouette, but there was a wall in my way. The bartender would've let me behind the bar to take the shot, but then the subjects might've started acting unnatural or posing.

the replacement

When my uncle sold the family tavern in 1999, the Moose became the watering hole of choice for many of the displaced patrons. Lately, I haven't set foot in a pub, bar, or speakeasy in town. There's reasons, sure, but it'd still be nice to do something after my grandma goes to bed at sunset.

h street country club

We noticed that all the light fixtures in the second floor bar were made of old toasters, coffee pots, and other shiny small appliances. Someone's been reading ReadyMade magazine. H Street Country Club is a converted rowhouse in Northeast with a nine-hole minigolf course in it. It rocked.
