1. How long were you shooting?
And because someone has to ask - What's with the ladies in the stripper shoes and thigh highs?

2. More like drinking, and because people need answers...it's a GLBT saloon

3. Oh - just looks like any bar.
Thought maybe you were doing a time lapse set of photos on bar culture. Put the camera on a tripod and set it off randomly.

4. Understood, I was employed as a Kodak photojournalist; so where some folks trip on out their...
back doors, point/click & shoot...I am more interested in the interplay between human events. Having said that, I will say here that CMW posted one of theeee post stunning pics though it is as well understood that he lives in the Swiss Alps (his backyard); so that when he steps out into his backyard, well...there is your context like no other bar-none!! Love me some CMW it will be pointed out here as well...

Thanks for stopping by, the photo forum can be a bit 'uppity' oooohhhh I have a special lens (if you seen a pic of the camera I'm using you'd crack up no doubt!), and that's fine. No time lapse however, just sitting & watching people come & go...some, not mentioning as to which or whether, Tranny's sleep on my husband's couch as they just love his ass as do we all here in our sleepy little delta town; should say I know this to be true as we love it when people are comfortable in our home, and able to sleep in peace = snoring & breathing deeply in a state rest :)

8. Every time I look at this series I'm seeing something new and different.
Which is always a good thing.

After 8 years of P/S cameras of increasing complexity, I've just moved to a DSLR. I feel like I'm really taking photos again. I've loved the ease of use of the P/S cameras but have wanted more control which they weren't providing(unless you do all those menus). And being able to switch off AF is great.

5. I like these photos a lot.
I love the way time flows through the pictures. Each one tells its own story, and combined it's like watching a movie. It's really cool.

7. Thanks for the play
I love pictures that tell stories. Ones that make you stop and think about what's going on. Especially series like this where each vignette tells you a bit more,
but you never know the whole story. Kind of like real life.
