Thank you, Marnie.

It'll take a while to put one together, but I'm slowly getting there. It's a private club with a pretty small membership, but there are enough characters to make a decent collection given enough time.

Now that I've gotten a decent flash, I should be able to get shots that otherwise would've been throw-aways. The overhead, recessed, tungsten lighting causes ruinous shadows under the eyes, noses and chins of most of the people I shoot, and a little bounce flash should fix that problem.

You see a lot of things  working in a dive bar like the club where I work
-- the best and worst of  people. The guy on the left is David -- a bear
of a man and local tough man  contest legend. I've known him since I was
probably 12 years old, and when  he's sober, he's one of the most
softhearted people you could ever hope to  meet. But, when he drinks,
he's extremely tough to deal with.

The guy  on the right is Glenn (the same Glenn with the full beard and
world-weary  expression I've posted photos of before). He's one of
David's best friends.  And, to be sure, he's no walk in the park when
he's drunk.

Well, this  particular night, they were both drunk, and David decided it
was time to let  Glenn know who the bull of the herd  is.

They go through this little ritual on  a fairly regular basis and it
makes for some pretty long nights at work  sometimes.
