I ended up working last night, going to Andalu at 11:30pm to get some photography done. I applied for a nightlife photographer position on craigslist and started last night. I must say, I had a much better time than I thought I would. I get into the club for free, get free drinks all night, access to VIP (which is nice in a club like Andalu), and just take pictures of people all night. When I first walked in the place I was like ‘oh shit, it’s one of these places’. And by that I mean an ultra-trendy club with people who have collared shirts and flawlessly sculpted extravagant sideburns and shit. So I was there trying to get through this massive crowd (the place was a roadblock) with my huge camera, wondering what I’ll get shots of. After a few drinks it became a lot easier, and I fell into the roll of the outrageously outgoing photographer, provoking everyone into crazy poses and just having fun. Everyone was all about it – I met like 100 people last night, and probably can’t remember 2 of their names. Lots of interesting stories I could tell about last night. I’ll post some of the pictures below instead. My only real concern is exposing my camera equipment to smoke. There was a ton of smoke in that place and now my camera bag smells like smoke. I don’t like that so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
really animated crackhead. he sings and dances for change. i gave him a dollar. he rules<\/p>\n\n\n\n
brazillian samba \/ hip hop \/ progressive dj. he played some true jams last night. he gave me a cd i haven’t listened to yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this chick had the most kick ass breasts ever. i spoke to this guy with her and asked if he was her boyfriend, and if he was he better appreciate the flawless breasts. i said it loud so she overhead and she laughed and was flattered. i teased her about it a few more times. you have to admit, they are nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
some guy was like “NO, LET ME PHOTOGRAPH *YOU*”. of course he had no idea wtf he was doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
these guys represent. i asked the guy on the left why he had to outclass everyone in the place by showing up dressed like that and he said he just came from work. liar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this girl was like 100% crazy. i don’t know if she was on e or just obsessed with me, but i think she attempted to rape me. she was pulling on my clothes and shit. for a while i was like cool and just had fun with it but after 2 minutes of that i was like okay gotta go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this guy reminded me of “the dude”. i told him that and he was really excited. now that i look at the picture, his sunglasses look kinda girly. that isn’t necessarily un-dude, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
i was in the VIP area and someone saw me with a camera and was like “YO YO MAN, GET MY FRIEND, I PROMISE, HE’LL BE HUGE IN 6 MONTHS”. he went on and on about how his friend was some upcoming hip hop guy or something. i was like whatever, and then yelled and bounced around like black people do with them for a few minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
