Piotrusia

about 15 minutes from me is a Polish Ameircan club. They announced
they where having a party that happened last night. When my (Polish)
wife contacted the management, they said it would be fun and 140
people had already paid for entry. So Anna and I decided to see what
we could do and set up to shoot portraits to see if there was
something there. We weren't expecting the crowd to be 40 and older.
This is an example of forcing yourself NOT to expect certain things
because you close your mind off to what is really there. As a
photojournalist, this is imperative to never be biased. to never
'expect' a certain result or what you see in your head before the
shoot. By doing so, you end up missing the story. It is good to
prepare, but never set yourself up for your own failure. I can't tell
you how many times I used to hear guys come back from a shoot and say,
"There wasn't anything there." There is always something there. You
just have to look for it.

Here are a few shots from that last night. Just a rough edit.
