Meetup at the meatpacking

I'm sure you can tell from my last flickr meetup post that I love getting the opportunity to meet my flickr contacts and always have a great time. It's an extra bonus when you get to meet someone who's coming all the way from Amsterdam! So what if it was pouring today at sporadic intervals and I didn't even have so much as a point-and-shoot on me? Improvising with my iPhone was fun enough.

I had gone shooting with Bryan a couple of times last summer, and he is quite a character. There is always a ton of energy with him, and he is terrific at directing people in shots (something I admire and desperately need to work on myself).

In between trying not to get run over on the cobblestone streets in the Meatpacking District and seeking cover from the rain under any scaffolding we could find, we also ate at Kesté, arguably one of the best places for Neapolitan style pizza in the city.

Without further ado, I present Bryan and Cleo.

In other blog-related news, I just noticed I had reached over 100 subscribers in Google Reader. You have no idea how exciting this is to me! I know it is a tiny little victory, but it really is incredibly encouraging, and I can only hope to produce greater and better content as I go on. Thank you, readers. :)
