Sometimes taking a job is not about the financial gain. I decided to do a night of club/event shooting thanks to the gang at BarNet.tv. Why? Well believe it or not I’ve been out of the club scene in Toronto for quite some time. I guess you can say I’ve found much better things to do on a Friday and Saturday evening. Not that there’s anything wrong with clubbing or bar hopping, I’m just not into it anymore (nor can I take my booze like I use to). I do like to be in the loop with the hottest clubs but I am more interested and fascinated by watching people in this atmosphere. I love being a fly on the wall and taking pictures is kind of like that for me. Yes I have to mingle with the crowd to get their picture but I’m pretty much in my own world. Another reason is I have to admit I’ve been quite comfortable with my daily routines in life and doing this night of shooting definitely pulled me away from my comfort zone. Not that I am not capable of getting the shot but because of today’s club crowd and the countless negative stories we hear about in the news. I have to admit most people I interacted with on this night were absolutely friendly and respectable and there was only a couple of minor instances of excessive drinking and violence. Not bad but again it was only one night.
Here are a few pictures from the night. Thanks to Mo and BarNet.tv
