Trying to take advantage of the disposable camera's Kodak provides at their Gotham Awards After Party every year, I got the two girls working the bags to let me take my camera early. Proof of why this was probably a mistake on their part follows:

Celluloid Dreams' Charlotte Mickie and Killer Films' Charles Pugliese took a break from the party to pose for my first picture.

IndieWIRE co-founders Eug and the Rabbi hang in the hallway with independent producer Rich Lim

Magnolia's Walker Savage cuts loose with IFC's Ryan Werner and Lizzie Nastro.

The Paste Magazine photographer gets a taste of his own medicine.

Elma Cremin and Marisa Keselica keep the bartenders happy. (And is that the pick?)

I bet right now they are wishing they never let me near a camera.

Some people know how to party better than others.
