Busiest picture night to date.

One hundred and ninety-five pictures on the camera (I'm not sure how many of those are good ones yet, probably about half). Forty-one prints sold.

I'm surprised the batteries held out. They went straight into the chargers when I got home so I could get through charging everything back up for Skank tonight.

It was utter madness. I had a continuous line-up that never seemed to be less than eight people deep right to the end. There were lots of group shots, and I went through multiple pages of the release form. Every time I went out for a smoke it was tough because the people in the line would just slump, but going out for a smoke was the only way to get a break and do any socializing at all. People were at me non-stop. When Elaine made the excellent call to bail in a hurry just before closing to beat all the people from all the bars so we'd have some hope of catching a cab home (it took forty-five minutes to get one on the way out, and neither waiting an hour on the street nor was, having done it once, schlepping all my gear home on foot was an attractive option), the people who were still in line were not happy.

All in all, though, it was a fun, successful night with lots and lots of happy customers.

I've been asked by logik to set up my photo booth at Cirque de Sade this Sunday. If you are going to be there, step up for a photo.

For the first couple hours I was set up at Sin City at Richard's on Richards last night I thought the night was going to be a bust. I sold all of one picture and certainly wasn't keeping pace with my bar tab, then blam, I got super busy. I ended up selling over twice what I usually do at 23 West. From ten o'clock to midnight it was utterly dead, then from midnight to two it was utter madness. I was still printing pictures after the ugly-lights had come on.

Now, I'm certainly not going to get rich selling 4" x 6" prints in a nightclub, but I'm pleased to have not only covered expenses and drinks for valerian and I (which is my baseline for a "successful" night), but made enough extra to cover my new, awesome, rabbit-fur sporran by freaklegion. I'll have to get a good picture of the sporran next time we set up the light tent.

In other tangentially related nonsense: my model releases are covered in spots of cranberry juice.
