Photographers At A Biker's Bar

Last night, a bunch of photographer friends of mine got together for dinner at the Twisted Spoke restaurant / bar on Ogden in Chicago.

I thought this shot was hilarious because here are a bunch of professional photographers gathered together being photographed with a point & shoot digital camera given to our waitress! (Photo courtesy of Roger Beck)

While we were there, somebody asked, "Hey, anyone bring a camera besides me?" Within seconds, a bunch of cameras get whipped out! What a laugh! I said, "Man... we're such nerds!" The next thing you know, everyone's taking pictures! I felt a little sorry for the other patrons there because not only were flashes going off every few seconds, we were kind of loud too! All in good fun though...

Anyway, we were discussing weddings and business in general and the topic of blogs came up. It seems several of these photographers visit my blog regularly. So I asked, "Hey, how come you guys don't make any comments on my blog?" Hopefully I won't live to regret this since one of the guys said he might place some comments on here. THAT could be scary! In retaliation, I threated to delete his comments if it got too raunchy!

Anyway, I had a great time last night just hanging out with a bunch of fun people and going to a biker's bar. I felt a little out of place though... I don't own a Harley or a leather jacket. And I don't think driving up in a Lexus counts for much here either! I'm just glad we didn't go at midnight on a Saturday night! (See the restaurant's website for more details if you dare... but I warn you it's not suitable for anyone under 18. It's under the link called "Smut and Eggs." The title of that link should give you a clue without even visiting the website...) Why do we meet on a Sunday? Because many of us are shooting weddings on Saturdays!
