Description
went to this club. honestly, i hate clubs. bars. the like. unless i have to be there to "show my face" or work or schmooze...just for hangin' out ... no way.
i like my clubhouse.
great food.
friends.
real people.
and a tight door policy.
but ... so ... i set my drink down on a table.
and i see this dude.
a friend.
deflated.
defeated.
when the 200 or so gyrating party'ers just disappear into the din...
and your only friend seems like the beer.
leica mp. 35 'cron ASPH/2.0 at f/2.0. 1/8 sec. ilford delta 400 (+1 to 800)

you know, i love your journals and photos of the beautiful people, cos it's such an enticing glimpse into a world i'll probably never know.
but your spontaneous snapshots like this show how much you deserve to be where you are. you're not just some bunny who got a lucky break, you are truly talented and deserve everything you get. except the dickheads who can't handle the f*bomb lol.
you are awesome.

I know you have a squillion comments and probably don't need to hear it again,
But I really appriciate a photograph with good grain.
Its truely beautiful.
The lack of focus only brings out the seediness of being that drunk, and the moment is perfectly captured.
Fantastic table too.

A power photograph, Most of us when we have something on our minds that wonβt shake loose easily usually turn to drink as a temporary fix. Itβs been a while since Iβve seen someone out of it like that guy; it could be anything, Death of relative, money problems, anything. But soon enough the fix turns from temporary to permanent and thatβs when heβll spiral down into his own hell.
Or it could just be his birthday and he overdid it, powerful image that says so much nevertheless.

Wow, really great shot.
Very sad, and thought provoking.
It makes me wonder about his life.

You have captured the exact moment where we feel the worst. The "agony of defeat" is visible here.
Great title and description.

Sad, and recognizable. Which is maybe sad too.
Good shot, anyway. Really conveys the despair and deafeat.

The blur makes it all. Like if yourself are also a little bit out of state... it gives a proximity and a feeling of sharing to a photo that could be just voyeurism is totally sharp... I feel sad looking at it, and I feel empathy

Interesting.
I forget his name but I remember some NYC photographer doing a whole series on this kinda stuff. I think he did it specifically on the old Bowery Bar culture.

i think i know who you're talking about but the name escapes me!

And this life inspires the need to "escape of this quicksand kinda life".A true moment caught by the camera.

i much prefer pubs, for the same reason, good food drinks and good friends.
oh i've seen this image on many occations and many different places. it seems like they're so sad. yet they're so taken back from the beer they were drinking. very nice shot.

i like pubs too! we just don't have that many -- of which i remember as being typical in the u.k. -- in los angeles.

one of the reasons why i would consider moving to the UK. a friend of mine described a beautiful one the other day, something i think you would enjoy though i don't know you, had comfy chairs & couches, friendly bartenders, and a fireplace. i would spend every friday night there, taking photos as well, actually.
i think LA is too much of a club sceen. though i would enjoy LA i'm more of a Pub fan.

ive adopted your clubhouse policy years ago. ways better. and there is not better place than your own hosue when ur knocked out by alchol.

A picture speaks a thousand words and some!
Great capture

not quite hell, mate.
but ... i don't like it.

okokokok... Maybe I exaggerated a little. Hell must be a bit worst... Philosophically speaking either way. But it certainly is one of the worst emotional states on earth... I like to think of those words in "the fifth element" from Luc Besson... "What doesn't kill 'ya... Makes 'ya stronger!".

i think you're right about what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

nice, delta400 handles quite well when pushed surprisingly. How far have you pushed it?
I've been in clubs doing shoots with delta3200/neopan1600 on f/1.7 on my yashica and the quality is ace for such low lighting.
Nice one Chris, the blur from the 1/8th kinda adds to the fact that.... your in a club.
π: 0 β©: 1
i'll go 1600 with it. that's about the top of what i'll shoot. i have one-four and one-oh glass so ... i don't need 3200 or 6400 or 12800.
i like the blur.
goes along with the feeling.

deffo. I dunno, i was drunk... and the few extra stops helped haha.
i dont even think my eos5 can handle 12800. Thats nuts!
