P – wow, small world! I wonder if we ever were there at the same time. Some people still call it the horseshoe bar, I think the original “official” name that the phone number is still listed under is “Vazacs Horshoe Bar” because there was a Vazacs Catering Hall above it that also owned the bar or something. It’s amazing how many tv episodes and movies were filmed there.. like the movie rent and that sex & the city episode where they go looking for pot. And a gazillion others. Now I see why.. it’s very photogenic :)

I just remembered in the shower — we used to call 7b “horse shoe bar.”

yes, it’s almost 4 pm and I’m just now showering. I have been working all day in my pjs.

Sara, that’s so funny! I’m sure we know that regular that gave you attitude.. was it a girl with long dark hair and bangs that kicked you out? That would be our friend Nicole!

Ah, 7B…here’s a funny story for you. I was visiting a friend in NYC 4 years ago and we stopped into 7B at, oh, 1:30 am or so, and I sat down at the bar. Probably very close to where Jasper is sitting in these pics. I apparently took some regular’s seat because he came up to me and started giving me attitude about sitting in his seat. Well, of course, being as stubborn as I am, I refused to move. And then I promptly got my butt kicked out of 7B…at 2 am…after fighting with an old man…and I only knew this happened because my friend replayed the whole thing in the morning. It was that kind of night.

LOL Farah, I don’t think I will either!

Marybeth, I’m going to post more on sleeping in a bit.. I have some good news on that front.

Kari, it is too bizarre isn’t it? I hope we get to meet our west coast dopplegangers someday. It will be like the Seinfeld bizarro world. Oh, and I was totally thinking about that line too!

Jbhat, definitely.. I actually had some captions posted on facebook to that effect :)

Alana, you won’t be sorry!! I love my rebel, though I wish with all my heart I could afford a 5D!

Thank you Jenna, they actually look better on flickr because they aren’t artificially resized down. Here’s a link to the set:

If you click on any picture and then on the left click on the little blue text that says “more properties” you will actually get the exif data with all my settings for each shot. ie.: http://www.flickr.com/photos/45102966@N00/3341238010/meta/in/set-72157615015711652

These ones are easy though, they were all shot with the lens wide open at 1.8 because it was dark in there and I needed as much light as possible. The trade of is that the ISO is high and they are pretty soft and a little grainy when viewed at 100%, but for a small to medium print they would be fine.

These shots are fantastic! Out of curiosity, what setting were you shooting in? Aperture? They really are great!

I am interested in how the sleep situation is going. My now 4.5 month old has completely 180′d on her sleeping perfectly in a crib. She now is fussy for at least an hour and it is becoming harder and harder to listen to her cry! ahh. Any insite would be wonderful!!!!
