Nice kiwi wine ooga_booga! And I loved muddie's jaunty hat angle.

I'm not sure how this works out, but I've been so lucky to get some of the most incredibly intelligent, thoroughly talented and impossibly photogenic people to cavort in my home.

Thanks, all of you, so very much. I enjoyed every moment of it.

Harumph... My camera seems to not have the "Attractive" setting that Bob's has.

Here are my photos, or at least the ones that were closest to being in focus.

I'm amazed at the talented photographers you managed to assemble.

Lovely photos, guys. I especially love the expression that DaShiv managed to capture on my face. I suspect it's one I make more often than I realize.

For relaxing time, try Monkey time.

Credit for Kiwi winage should go to Frisbee. Sweet, with a little soupcon of impertinence. And the wine was pretty good, too.

*bows before the camera god that is DaShiv*

DaShiv, what camera and flash setup do you use?

Where are the pictures of the cavorting???!?

DaShiv, please come to New York and make us all gorgeous. Thanks.

also, earlier I called occhiblu 'cute.' After this picture, I'd have to upgrade that assessment to stone-cold drop dead beautiful. Just saying.

DaShiv, pleeeease come to New York! I want a beautiful DaShiv portrait of me to be on the internet for all time. (plus, I'll probably blow it up and hang it on my wall!)

Ooga_Booga is one handsome and stylish dude. That is all.

Well I've said it before, it's not *my* fault that these people are ridiculously photogenic.

occhiblu: I've photographed you on a few different occasions and this is the first time I've seen or captured that expression from you. I love its candor -- grabbing shots like that is exactly why I started pointing cameras at people.

killdevil: Digital Rebel XT, EF 85/1.2 MkI, no flash. Sold my 20D to help make rent a few months back. :(

sciurus: On mudpuppie's camera, of course. I was holding both cameras for much of the night, mine with a longish portrait lens and hers with a wide to catch the cavorting. I watch too many damn John Woo movies.

NYC peeps: Keep your fingers crossed.

Yes, well, you don't normally get the "I look completely ridiculous with tinfoil on my head, but I'm convinced that a spark of inspiration is about to arrive and set me free" expression set until you've known me for at least six months.

Very nice. I wish I could have been there.
