| My
writing group has been meeting since September 2002. (Technically, it
wasn't a "group" until a bit later because I was the only person
at the first meeting.) I didn't have a digital camera back then, and when
I finally got one, there wasn't much to photograph; for the first few
months, the group met near the cafe on the 4th
floor of the Barnes & Noble near Lincoln Center, and when we got
too big for that space (and got kicked out by a not-too-nice manager),
we began using the nearby public atrium
at Ollie's Noodle Shop & Grille. Eventually we became too big for
THAT space and started holding most of our meetings in people's homes,
and before long I decided to take a photograph whenever the group met
in a different spot. As you comb though the photos below, keep in mind that the number of people you see is often much lower than the number of people who were actually there. For example, when you look at Ben's roofdeck and think, "Oh, how cute, there were four people at this meeting," take a closer look and you'll see two more people off to the side—plus there was me (the photographer) and 17 others in the living room down below. Anyway, enjoy... |
